Title: 2014-2015 NBA Season: Warriors crowned as Champions
Post by: the_w0rks on Jun 17, 2014 at 08:54 AM
With the end of the 2013-2014 season, let's start a new discussion for the upcoming 2014-2015 season. Here's a mock draft from http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2094107-2014-nba-mock-draft-latest-projections-for-every-1st-round-pick (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2094107-2014-nba-mock-draft-latest-projections-for-every-1st-round-pick)

posting the top 10 only:

Quote
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas

 
Embiid presents Cleveland its best chance to finally make its way out of the lottery.

With Kyrie Irving already in place as a franchise point guard, the Cavs need to get a two-way big man to build around. Embiid's 7'0" frame and massive wingspan will allow him to be an imposing rim-protector from Day 1, and his fluid movements should help him strengthen his already strong post-up game.
 

2. Milwaukee Bucks: Jabari Parker, SF, Duke

The Bucks have Larry Sanders to anchor the interior D and are hoping Giannis Antetokounmpo grows into a shutdown wing defender.

In terms of the offensive end, Milwaukee still needs a go-to guy, and Parker is the best this class has to offer as a primary scorer. He can create his own shot, score inside at will and knock down threes—a combination that will give his fellow Bucks more room to operate as defenses shift to stop Parker.
 

3. Philadelphia 76ers: Andrew Wiggins, SF, Kansas

Given Philly's frenetic offensive pace, it's going to need to rebuild around athletes who can excel in transition.

Wiggins' half-court offense is still developing, but he'll immediately cause havoc for opposing defenses when the Sixers get out on the break. His speed and athleticism will also give Philly's perimeter defense a nice boost, which will help Michael Carter-Williams develop with some help around him.

 
4. Orlando Magic: Dante Exum, PG, Australia

 
Orlando needs to surround Victor Oladipo with supplementary ball-handlers as he grows into a professional point guard, and Exum has exactly the skill set to pair with him.

Though Exum also isn't prepared to run an NBA offense yet, he's 6'6" and a stellar athlete with the off-the-bounce skills to break down defenses and get to the rim. He'll give the Magic a dynamic two-point guard offense without sacrificing size on the other end.
 

5. Utah Jazz: Julius Randle, PF, Kentucky 

Enes Kanter hasn't panned out as a frontcourt partner with Derrick Favors, so Utah is going to have to pivot and get a more capable scoring forward.

Randle's brute-strength post-up game jumps out at you first, but he actually has a nicely varied offensive arsenal. In addition to backing down his defenders to score at the rim, he can face up and either drive past his man or beat him with a mid-range jumper.

 
6. Boston Celtics: Noah Vonleh, PF, Indiana

Considering Boston just spent the past season with the earthbound Jared Sullinger as its center, the Celtics could use some length and leaping ability inside.

That's where Vonleh comes in. He has the physical makeup to defend the rim nicely once he adds a bit more muscle, and he already has the jumper to help Boston space the floor on offense to make room for Rajon Rondo drives.

 
7. Los Angeles Lakers: Marcus Smart, PG, Oklahoma State

 
As Kobe Bryant ages, the Lakers are going to need someone else to take a share of the ball-handling duties.

Smart is a capable distributor who can use his speed and strength to get past guards and make plays inside the arc. Working with Kobe should help Smart work out the kinks in his jump shot, and Smart will make life easier for Bryant by guarding the other team's most threatening scorer.

 
8. Sacramento Kings: Doug McDermott, SF, Creighton

With Rudy Gay hitting free agency this summer, Sacramento is going to need a new wing scorer.

McDermott won't be able to score inside quite as well as Gay, but he'll be an even more complete offensive player. Between his deadly three-point shooting and his pull-ups when he takes defenders off the dribble, he'll be able to produce while spacing the floor around DeMarcus Cousins.

 
9. Charlotte Hornets (via Detroit): Nik Stauskas, SG, Michigan

Speaking of balancing the offense, the former Bobcats will need to surround Al Jefferson with some more shooting.

Not only will Stauskas be a great three-point option, but he has the athletic ability to put the ball on the floor and get into the lane when the defense plays him too closely. Between him and Kemba Walker, the Hornets are going to be dangerous.
 
10. Philadelphia 76ers (via New Orleans): Aaron Gordon, PF, Arizona

 
Wiggins will help Philly stop opposing wings, but it will still need help inside.

Once again, Gordon will be particularly useful to the Sixers because of his ability to get out and run on the break, but his biggest impact will be how he uses his physical gifts defensively. His quickness, hops and wingspan will let him compile strips and blocks in bunches, making the paint a more treacherous area for Philly foes.

Yep, the forward spot is the least of their concern. Embiid would be the best choice for them. Sana lang healthy si Embiid. That back injury makes him a risky pick. Pero mahirap tanggihan ang 7ft center na athletic and skilled.

Di kaya parang Adam Morrison lang tong si Staukas pagdating sa NBA? Projected to be picked by the Hornets pa naman siya. The same team that picked Morrison. As for Lavine in Phoenix, they don't really need him. Kawawa lang batang yan dun kasi di magagamit at di madedevelop. Project player pa naman. Pero baka naman pwede siyang turuan ni Gerald Green ng life lessons. haha

Actually Staukas reminds me more of JJ Redick.  Under the right system, he can be an above average rotational player.

Unrestricted FA si Deng, and he hated playing for the CAVS. Di na babalik yan, unless the market for him turns dry.

Di rin ako naniniwala sa Lebron to Cavs media hype. Not gonna happen.

The Cavs have more pressing needs in the SF position, but I still think that Embiid is the right pick at #1.

As for Stauskas, I like him a little bit. Unlike Mcdermott, he's only a sophomore and his improvement from freshman year is very significant. Morrison was a junior when he was drafted and had a lot of problems (diabetes, tore his ACL in his 2nd yr as a pro, mentally weak). Wala naman sigurong high-rated prospect na kasing sagwa nya sa draft na ito.

Meron ding nag-cocompare sa kanya kay Ginobili.   ;D

I'd rather take the athletic Jabari Parker over the center Embiid.
The reason is the CAVS still has Verajao and Haws to guard the paint.
Jabari Parker can polish his offensive skills playing together with Irving and they can trade Deng for other role players who can blend with the team.

I read the 76ers are willing to trade #3 &#10 to get Wiggins at #1. For me that's a dumb move. This is a stacked draft class and they have a lot of holes in their roster. They can get Parker/Wiggins for #3 and Gordon or someone at #10.

While it is true that James loves Los Angeles -- who doesn't, I ask -- it is not clear whether he'd love playing with Kobe Bryant, or whether Bryant would be willing to cede his throne to a new king. But of all the convoluted superstar concoctions that are possible this summer, James and Anthony joining Bryant with the Lakers might be the most plausible -- as long as you operate from the assumption that both would be willing to take a significant pay cut to do so

Even if LBJ is a pass first type of player, I doubt if this would work.  Kobe and Melo are both isolation heavy and volume scorers.what works with LBJ are mike miller and ray allen type of players who are shooters from anywhere on the floor.

Too many superstars actually ruin the Lakers.  Remember Shaq, Kobe, Malone and Payton?  And oh, Howard, Nash Kobe too.  Didn't win.  But as LBJ said, the landscape of the NBA is changing.  Who knows, maybe a 6th ring for Kobe, 1 for Carmelo, 4th for LBJ and possibly a passing of baton from KB24 ( retire ) to LBJ6 as the new face of the Lakers ::)

Totally different scenario.  The Olympics, you play for pride.  The NBA you play for stats, accolades and most of all you play for the millions that follow.  Would Lebron and Melo carry the heavy lifting for the Lakers only to get paid about half of what Kobe is making while contributing less?  Money is still a very important factor in making decisions on where to play in the NBA.

Pwede rin, Parker is a reasonable pick.

When they renounce Deng's bird rights, they also have ample cap space to field substantial offers to RFAs like Monroe, Hayward, Bledsoe, Parsons etc. There's some intriguing possibilities with the CAVS this year.

CAVS need some scoring from the wing and to compliment Irving and Waiters game.
Parker should be their best choice as they can compensate with role players to do the dirty jobs for them inside the paint.

When Oden was drafted #1 by Portland, I knew they made a bad choice to let a very athletic Durant slip pass their hands.
I hope that lesson will be learned by the CAVS and they get the impact player over a center.

The Cavs have needs on every position except PG so I'd understand if they pick Jabari. Complement a two scoring minded guards with a scoring minded forward? Sure, why not... but I still think that Embiid is the best prospect in the draft.

Hindsight is 20/20, kumbaga. It's easy to claim to be knowledgeable about predicting an event years after it transpired.

Oden was one of the best college prospects in the past 20 years and even had better athletic measurements than Durant -- http://forums.2k.com/archive/index.php/t-315333.html . He was just very unlucky with injuries. Most of the teams drafting that year would've taken him before Durant.

Most people would like to cite Oden over Durant or Bowie over Jordan as extreme examples of the perils of drafting big over small but they seem to forget more recent examples. What about Wesley Johnson over Demarcus Cousins, Evan Turner over Derrick Favors and the many teams that passed over Andre Drummond?

But teams have to be weary of big men with a history of injuries. To be fair with Embiid though, we only know of that 1 injury. Iirc, same ito with Drummond's injury which he has bounced back from.

Mahirap lang talaga magtiwala sa big men na nainjured na before. Si Oden injured din nung college dba?

Basketball in the NBA has evolved from the traditional post game to the dribble drive, fluid passing and sharp outside shooting.
Now teams must have facilitators, shot creators and outside shooters.
Somehow they've taken away the post moves by the likes of Mchale.
Power forwards nowadays seldom get the ball down low but rather get the ball on top of the key. They mostly get the ball and take jump shots. (Good example is Portland's Aldrige)
Center nowadays get their shots from drive and draws by the facilitators of the team.
This is the main reason why instead of drafting a BIG man, the athletic forwards will be the wiser choice.

With the newly crowned NBA Champion Spurs showing the world how basketball should be played nowadays, I'm sure other teams will try to follow.

Medyo tricky kasi yun kay Oden.  The injury that did him in were his knees.  But nung College his injury was his wrist.  Now yun kay Embiid is his back.  Sullinger had the same problem which caused his stock to drop from being a lottery selection. Surgery corrected the problem and has actually bounced back with a relatively good year for the Celtics.

Floor spacing has somehow become more important than post-play in today's NBA, but rim protection is still as relevant as ever. The last team that won the championship without top 10 defense was the Lakers in 2001. Defensive minded bigs Perkins, Andersen, Splitter, Chandler were essential to the past few championship teams. Even guys like Mickell Gladness (got cut in Holland, benched in D-league) got signed by the Heat in 2011 because of his shot blocking potential. It's the big men who are neither very good floor spacers or rim protectors who have gone out of fashion in the NBA --- guys like Carlos Boozer, David Lee, Glen Davis etc.

No Yao Ming in your list? Isa pang nakakapang hinayang na bigman to. Best center in the league when he retired.

Yao was somewhat of a mystery man, most people had no idea how his play would translate to the league. Nakipagpustahan pa nga si Barkley na hindi daw makaka-20 pts si Yao sa NBA. I only listed the ones who were generally viewed as can't-miss superstars right at the time they were drafted. Kasali rin siguro si Iverson.

I wanted the Warriors to get Yao that year. They had the worst record, but somehow ended up with only pick #3.   :-\

There's a lot of scenarios for Kevin Love. But it's ultimately on the Wolves on who they will trade him to. And the recipient team will have to either take chance on him being a rental. I'm not sure if pwede pa ba siya mag sign and trade. The pistons can actually swing for him if they want. A package of Greg Monroe and Pope will be enticing for the Wolves. The frontcourt of Josh Smith, Kevin Love and Drummond is very imposing

^ If Embiid somehow falls to the Lakers at #7, there's this thinking that maybe the Lakers should take a gamble since they're not going to contend again anyway next season or the near future.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2103454-joel-embiids-injury-could-provide-golden-opportunity-for-lakers (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2103454-joel-embiids-injury-could-provide-golden-opportunity-for-lakers)

Then again, looks like the Lakers are zeroing in on Marcus Smart if he will be available at #7. Guess it all depends on Embiid's post-surgery prognosis and how that is interpreted by the teams in the draft lottery.

Goodbye Embiid as #1 pick

http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2102715-joel-embiid-injury-updates-on-nba-draft-prospects-foot-and-recovery

Told you guys risky na magpick ng big men with injury. Would rather stay on tge safe side instead. Sana may kumuha pa din sakanya before my Lakers pick para madami pa din choices.


So it's either Parker or Wiggins for the #1 pick.

can't read the entire article because of ESPN insider, but accdg. to article it's fully recoverable.
Quote
The news that Joel Embiid was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right foot is troubling, but it isn't a career death sentence for the Kansas center.

Indeed, the history of big men with foot problems is somewhat foreboding, as Kevin Pelton indicates, but I believe Embiid still will be able to a fruitful NBA career after undergoing surgery on Friday.

Having served as one of the Houston Rockets' team physicians from 2006-10, I am very familiar with this injury. During that time, Rockets All-Star center Yao Ming was plagued by fractures of his left foot's navicular bone. So I saw firsthand the problems that can arise from this injury. Embiid's news certainly conjures visions of a hobbled big man such as Yao, but Yao's fate isn't necessarily what awaits Embiid.

Could Embiid suffer Yao's fate?
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2014/story/_/id/11111211/nba-draft-joel-embiid-suffer-yao-ming-fate

Quote from: Mike Schmitz
Yao is 6 inches, 70 pounds taller than Embiid, had extremely high arches in his feet, and had played 8 pro seasons prior to the injury.

if he slides really far down the draft, I hope it lands him in an ideal situation to start his career.

Karl Towns really looks like a top tier talent for me. If not, kahit Rondae Hollis-Jefferson pwede na din for me next year. Swerte ng Suns if lottery ulit Lakers outside ng top5

2018 pa magiging unprotected yung pick ng Lakers na binigay sa Suns. Sa 2016 and 2017, top3 protected. Pero medjo moot na nga yan kasi I doubt na magbottom 5 Lakers next season. Di papayag si Kobe na maging bottom yung Lakers.

sabi nga ni SwaggyP he is willing to take a hometown discount as long as he has a nice role in the Lakers' system. I really think he covets the attention he gets in LA.

I believe Mitch already stated no FAs this offseason and concentrate on next year. Lakers need to win 49 games to even get the 8th seed. So Lakers more than likely will be a lottery team a second consecutive season.

Since the NBA style has already evolved to the international style of basketball, it will be nice to see how Blatt will transform the CAVS to a contender.
Now who will he be drafting for the CAVS? Parker or Wiggins?

NBA basketball is evolving so it's good for teams to gamble on new coaches rather than goin back to old school coaches.
Honestly you cant teach old dogs new tricks so new coaches means revolutionizing the new era of basketball which is mainly for the small athletic guards and forwards and no much for the BIG men coz the game now is so fast that it requires everybody to run and down the floor thus less touches for the BIG men at low post.

Kung si Randle/Vonleh/Gordon or Embiid(possible) PGs like Bledsoe kukuhanin nila. Ang maganda dyan pwede pa sila mentor ni Nash. Si Young almost given na babalik unless full tank mode na sila.

On the contrary, I think Kobe's recovered well.  He's now playing soccer in Barcelona.  If you can play soccer, which has more leg movements than playing hoops, this means his achilles heel is feeling just fine. Hope he gets in peak form for the next season -- and finish all 82 games!

Dunking was banned in the NCAA from 1967 to 1976. Many people have attributed this to the dominance of the then-
college phenomenon Lew Alcindor (now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) upon his entry into the NCAA. Subsequently, the no-dunking rule is sometimes referred to as the "Lew Alcindor rule."[3][4]

Thanks for the correction.

Spurs are drafting last in the 1st round. I think they will be in the hunt for a shot creator like a Ginobili coz aside from Ginobili and Parker, they dont have another one. All other players off their bench are simply long range bombers and dont dribble drive hard to the basket.
The question is will the player they be drafting be another international player?

Jordan Clarkson has the most unassisted rim FGs in this draft class. He could still be available at pick#30.

@ rusty

wouldnt trust Chad Ford. Not when he has Napier so high at 15th with a Hawks team filled with PGs. They have 4 pgs and how can they not be sold on Jeff Teague after his showing against the Pacers last playoffs. and even so, picking Napier ahead of Ennis and Lavine?  :o

Dude, I didn't post the mock because I trusted Chad Ford  ;D

About Napier, I think there's a legit buzz about him because of his strong tournament showing, he even received a green room invite. I'm not that high on him but I can certainly see a team getting picked around 22 - 25.

Patric Young at #30? -- so silly.

Ennis is in my top 10 but I can definitely see him sliding because a lot of teams are set at the PG slot.

haha it's silly that insider subscribers are handed with Chad Ford's comedic mock drafts.

As for Napier, it's probably just the Chalmers effect. He is a senior guard with zero upside. late 1st to early 2nd round sounds ok for him. Pwedeng glue guy siguro.

And yeah, Patric Young pa sa Spurs. Buford would be insulted

Being a Mormon is more of a plus.  But not the deciding factor.  If the Jazz are pursuing Parker, it's because he the most NBA ready player in the draft.  Being a Mormon is just an added bonus.  Even the Bucks, Magic and the Sixers are trying to initiate a trade with the Cavs for the number 1 pick presumably to draft Parker.  And it isn't because of his religion. 

Parker is indeed being considered as the number 1 pick by most mock drafts after Embiid got injured. Or at least undoubtedly the most NBA ready prospect.

nowhere did I say that being a Mormon was the only reason the Jazz wanted him. my statement was so simple.

as to the links you provided, even that gary parrish guy said this "To be clear, I disagree with the pick; like I said, I'd take Wiggins No. 1. "

there is no consensus #1. you can switch Wiggins and Jabari and you'd still come out like you picked 1st overall.

Yup I read naman your post.  I agree it was simple...

My reply was also simple and is solely based in the quoted post.  I agree the post didn't reveal any other redeemig factor to draft Parker.  Hence the reply.

In terms of talent, no clear cut number 1 yes.  But the thing is the Cavs are selecting number 1 where they bungled the same selection last year.  It's debatable who the better player is between Parker and Wiggins.  But Parker being widely considered number 1 is more of the Cavs not embarrassing themselves and selecting the safer pick.... not necessarily the better or even the wiser pick.

yep, safer pick si Jabari. Good luck to him if he lands on that awful franchise. As for Wiggins, other teams will just have to wait until his contract ends with Milwaukee (if he goes #2)

Home sweet home? Web post by LeBron’s wife fuels speculation of Cavs return
http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/home-sweet-home-web-post-by-lebrons-wife-fuels-speculation-of-cavs-return

MIAMI – An Instagram posting by the wife of NBA superstar LeBron James has fanned talk that the Miami Heat playmaker will take his talents back to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James, who grew up near Cleveland and played for the Cavaliers until departing for Miami as a free agent in 2010, could opt out of his contract with Miami this week and test free agency again.

Savannah James, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child, posted a photo of a map of the outline of the state of Ohio late Sunday night with a star on the city of Akron, James’ hometown, and the caption: “Home sweet home!! The countdown is real! #330.”
The hashtag 330 refers to the telephone area code for Akron, which is only about a 40-minute drive south of Cleveland.

Whether or not it was a hint that James might be leaving Miami for Cleveland, the message added fuel to the idea that James might leave the Heat after taking Miami to the past four NBA Finals, winning two titles.

James reached his first NBA Finals with Cleveland in 2007, but the Cavaliers were swept by San Antonio, the same team that beat Miami in the NBA Finals earlier this month.

In 2010, James announced his decision to leave Cleveland for Miami on a television special, taking less than the maximum possible salary to allow the Heat to sign Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and telling fans that he hoped to win six or more titles as part of the “Big Three.”

Fans in Cleveland were upset, some burning replicas of his jersey in protest of his move, feeling their loyalty to a local hero since his high school days had been betrayed.

James is a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and was the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 2012 and 2013 when Miami lifted the league championshjiop trophy.

James must declare his free agency by the end of the month. He can resign with the Heat, who would under NBA salary cap rules be able to offer more money than any other club.

Nope Riley already had a plan in place.  He was already restructuring salaries way back then to accommodate 3 big name players.  And one of his targets was already Lebron.  Riley was accused pa nga of tampering.  Negotiations with Lebron and Bosh most likely happened when they got together on Team USA with Wade.

the only pitch Mitch can give is to show Kobe's ridiculously ginormous contract and tell Lebron that the Lakers take care of their players by rewarding them with fat contracts even if they're past their prime already.

if they only waited for Kobe's contract to expire, they would have plenty more cap space now.

I think this is the latter. Miami is the logical choice. They have won it twice and was in the finals four times. At this stage in his career I don't think he will risk it. He already knows what he has achieved and is now fighting for the title GOAT.

If the so called big three are smart enough, then I agree that its the latter.  Point to ponder though, Wade gave away his team leadership to Lebron when they teamed up and Bosh took a nose dive in touches and plays called for him, that's something that I think Melo will be unprepared to do if he comes in.

I don't think melo will be in a Heat uniform. Even if the Big 3 take substantial cuts in their salaries to add Melo it still does not address their needs. And all of them will getting new set of contracts for at least a minimum of 3 years. It will not be an experiment they can undo if they fail. Their bench is ugly, They don't have a rebounding big man, and PG is Chalmers.

agree...even if the big 3 all opt out then still stay in miami and take a pay cut(prolly 15mil range each), adding melo would not help them...they need an upgraded bench and a legit center :)

Tough decisions ahead for Pat Riley. But I'm also guessing James will stay with Miami, maybe with a different Big 3 instead of a Big 4 (unless James and his buddies agree to take less money). Maybe it's time to let go of Wade, and for Miami to look for an all-star PG or rebounder/defensive big man.

If James surprisingly decides to change teams again and endure more bashing for The Decision Part 2, it should be to another team in the East where it will be easier to reach the Finals... unless that team in the West is one of last year's contenders (ex., the Clippers, which reportedly intrigues him; CP3 is also his close friend).

This thread is going to be a hot one beginning Friday and July 1. :)

Maybe it's time to let go of Wade, and for Miami to look for an all-star PG or rebounder/defensive big man.

They're not gonna be able to get rid of Wade. He's owed a guaranteed $40M in the next 2 years. I think that he's only gonna opt out if Miami guarantees him an extension.

Wade's nearly done, so he's not gonna get offers close to $20M a year in the open market.

My guess is that Bosh/Wade of them will opt out so the big 3 can restructure their salary to free up  just enough space to sign someone like Lowry or Gortat. Haslem will have to cooperate too.

Yeah....Wade is indeed owed specifically $42M in 2yrs. He will only opt out probably with a 3 year $15M extension with a player option for a 4th year at the very least.

Yup exclamation piont on what Riley said. Totally agree, ring shopping lang si Lebron, pero let's give him chance. Let's see his "Decision Part 2" hahaha..Imo, the best teams and players are in the 60's, 70's, 80's to 90's, it's their dedication to stick with a team and become champion. (Ex. Check out Hakeem Olajuwon's dvd video) Hakeem waited almost 10 years for his first championship ring. Their heart to compete against the greatest. They don't join up. The recent San Antonio team is a perfect example of a great team. Kaya maybe they keep getting foreign players, iba mentality.

So if Lebron switches team again. Meron new trivia question. Who is the greatest ever to play the game (ya right in your dreams) to have played with the most nba team? I think he just wants one house in every USA city hihihihi...

Lebron is like a guy who always want to sit in front of a car. He will always say "hey I got shotgun, you guys sit in the back" hehehe...

btw, I can say Durant is the greatest player right now. Kaya yun "greatest player in the planet" is always subject to personal opinion or hate of a player hihihi...

If LBJ goes elsewhere perhaps MIA can sign Melo to complete their BIG 3 with Wade and Bosh.
Does the Lakers have any chance signing LBJ to pair him with Bryant and Nash?
Though I hope LBJ will return to Cleveland and give his home a Ring it will be nice to see him play in the Western Conference with the Lakers.

I read that after some maneuvering, Lakers can free up as much as $33 million in cap space.  So 1 max FA is possible.  But they are actually targeting Lebron and Anthony for $16.5 million each.  I don't know if that is enough to get both. 

Now this is where the Lakers giving Kobe an extension of $48 million for 2 years are biting them in the butt.  If only the extension was for $16 million annually which is already generous enough given Kobe's age and injuries last season....Lakers actually have a strong chance getting both Anthony and Lebron to play for the Lakers at $20.5 million each.  I think $20 million can get it done.

Lakers have a chance because they have cap space. But it's a really small chance, especially if LBJ's goal is to win championships, which is easier to do via the East. The only way LBJ goes to LAL is if he's always wanted to play for the Lakers, and he thinks being in Hollywood gives him an even bigger platform for his business and post-nba career.

It's prestige to play for elite teams like the Lakers and Celtics so perhaps that's one of LBJ's dream.

They're not gonna be able to get rid of Wade. He's owed a guaranteed $40M in the next 2 years. I think that he's only gonna opt out if Miami guarantees him an extension.

Wade's nearly done, so he's not gonna get offers close to $20M a year in the open market.

My guess is that Bosh/Wade of them will opt out so the big 3 can restructure their salary to free up  just enough space to sign someone like Lowry or Gortat. Haslem will have to cooperate too.

Thanks for the correction. Turns out pala Wade's decision is the most important factor in Miami's plans this off-season. Got this from The Sporting News:

The real question mark for Miami is the third member of the Big Three, guard Dwyane Wade. When it comes to decisions, that will have the biggest impact on where the Heat go from here. That choice might not come until the day of the deadline, June 30.

Wade is owed $42 million over the next two years, the end of the contract he signed at the same time Bosh and James came to Miami, in 2010. While Bosh just turned 30 and James will be 30 in December, Wade is already 32 and showing the ill effects of a problematic knee, as well as a spate of other minor injuries.

Ideally, the Heat will be able to sell Wade on spreading the money he is owed over a longer stretch of time, to lessen the up-front hit of his contract. If Wade were to opt out and sign back for something in the range of a four-year deal worth $50 million, he could give himself more guaranteed money while dropping the short-term hit to Miami’s payroll.


If the Big 3 cooperate and Miami manages to land a PG like Lowry, they should be in good shape - at least in the East.

plus he will have less haters since most of his haters are Lakers fans! haha

most of his miami fans are probably just the same fans who claimed they Cavs fans. they'll easily join the Lakers bandwagon if he dons the purple and gold.

realistically, i think Lebron will stay in Miami. Hope he gets the max salary that he deserves.

Cavs have no need for Afflalo since anjan naman si Waiters. Mas maganda yung Sixers offer for me. takot na yata mag 1st pick yung Cavs ah. haha

Yup and the Cavs have a big hole at the 3 since Deng is not coming back.  Young is also versatile enough to slide to the 4 on occassions.  Afflalo is basically a 2 which conflicts with Waiters and might be too small to cover the 3 on defense.

But I think they won't trade. As you mentioned they already have waiters so they will draft Parker and there is no way that he will fall to 3 or 4. Or they gamble and bite the trade and get Embid at 3 or 4 then add Afflalo/Young and more pieces at 10/12. Trade Verajao along the way to aquire more assets.

What the Cavs really want is Embiid.  Too risky to draft at 1.  But if they want, slide to number 3... get Young and still draft Embiid.  They get a 3 and a 5 for next year.  I have a feeling they want to take a risk on Embiid.  That is why up to now they are undecided between Wiggins and Parker.  Embiid at 3 is absolutely not that bad compared to drafting him number 1.

they should never have let him walk anyway, save for Jason kid who retired right after winning, that team could have gone for one more deep playoff run.  Getting him back now is too late.  Chandler is way past his prime.

But still adding Chandler to guard the paint isn't a bad idea specially when they go up against Duncan and the Spurs.
I think coaches should learn how to manage the playin time of old veterans during the eliminations so they will still be fresh during playoff time.

If the MAVS won't take Chandler, I'm sure MIA will be interested.

Good move for both teams.  NO desperately needs a rim stopper on top of AD.  While Hou free's up much needed cap space for a 3rd star.  Lin is sure to be shipped out now that half the problem is solved.

Terrible move, if only for the fact that Afflalo had a great year and was clearly the team's best player.

However, its mostly about having cap space and stocking on picks these days ...... besides, its not as of the MAGIC are contending, even in an inept Eastern Conference. MAGIC GM Hennigan got himself some more cap space.

Well you can continue scratching your head....they just drafted another PG even if they already have MCW. I thought they should have gone with McBuckets.
yup.guess they're going with 'get the best player available regardless of need or position'.

We'll see how he does but I really think people are overrating him.

In fairness to Shabazz, he lead his team to an NCAA championship vs a very stacked Kentucky team. Kentucky had at least 6 future NBA prospects (Cauley-Stein didn't play), including that kid that the Lakers picked at #7.

And if the Napier pick helps Miami retain Lebron, it's already an A+ pick.

It mght be the rule but there are exceptions.  They said the same thing about Mark Jackson, John Stockton.  Depende siguro sa system ng team.  Yun nakuha ng Lakers last year na first rounder ng Suns....hindi umubra sa Phoenix but was excellent in the Lakers system under MDA.  It's premature to close the book on him.

As someone who was forced watched Kendoll backup Dragic and Telfair for a year trust me when I say he suck donkey balls. He's exactly the same player under Dantoni. Un athletic, pass first PG who still can't shoot or finish at the basket. Nabigyan lang mahabang playing time at greenlight to shoot cause the lakers want to finish high in the lottery. Also Mr. Planters' system tend to make PGs look better than they really are. Remember Felton and Lin?

Experience vs Youth yun bro. Talent-wise super stacked UK but Shabust and co were very experienced. Mukhang maganda din coaching ni Ollie pero Lebron should calm down on his view of the guy. I think he said he would take Napier 1st among all other PG prospects. Absurd!!! He got caught up with March madness. Sabagay, Lebron never experienced College kaya siguro ambilis maimpress sa pinakita ni Napier.

It mght be the rule but there are exceptions.  They said the same thing about Mark Jackson, John Stockton.  Depende siguro sa system ng team.  Yun nakuha ng Lakers last year na first rounder ng Suns....hindi umubra sa Phoenix but was excellent in the Lakers system under MDA.  It's premature to close the book on him.

Isa pa yun si Marshall. But at least he has great passing skills since college. Sabagay, pwede pa to si Shabust if he can play like Barea or Jameer. Definitely premature pero I just dont get what others see in him.

With the 5th pick, the Miami Heat select Shabust Napier the overrated Senior from the University of Connecticut. That would have been crazy.

Anyway, it was a good draft. Hope Aaron Gordon develops well in Orlando. I like that kid.

Even so I doubt they will make the playoffs.  Dallas the 8th seed won 49 games just to make the playoffs.  And with the Chandler trade, have actually improved defensively.  The west is so stacked, who will the Lakers bump off?  Dallas, Memphis, Golden State?  None of those at least this year imo.  Well another shot at the number 1 pick again next draft.

As for Pau, he goes to the Clips for the MLE. Perfect coach, perfect line up.....no need to pack up and relocate!   ;D

They'd be lucky to reach the 2nd round in the West with a lineup that features Pau, Kobe and Swaggy Pee as their main weapons. Randle is still a rookie. Nobody will take on Nash contract without including at least a future first round pick (their only asset). Do Laker fans really want a team that's only good enough to make the playoffs but never good enough to win the title?

Post by: rusty on Jun 28, 2014 at 10:37 AM
this is why the East usually sucks. dumb moves by East GMs. bulls giving up 2 picks for Mcderp who will probably be a Korver type.

Masai Ujiri is one of the best GM's in the league so I give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. I was just so amused with that pick, Bruno was seemingly on no one's radar and then he gets drafted 20th. Apparently the Jazz (#23) and the Suns (#27) were also interested in Caboclo so they picked him early when their targets (Ennis, Harris) were gone.

I think the Nuggets came out on top on the Dougie trade, but Chicago didn't make out too poorly either. MCD's a good fit, and they gain a tiny bit of cap space. EDIT: Apparently, Randolph was also included in the deal so the Bulls don't really gain any cap space, they're just really high on Dougie.

Teams who did the worst in the draft = Clippers, Wizards

but he's the brazilian kevin durant! pero mukhang ok naman na gm si masai ujiri. he immediately got rid of rudy gay and his massive contract and the raptors took off ever since.

Not to mention that he fleeced the Knicks twice -- the Melo and the Bargnani trades. He's a wizard.

I am aware about Masai's successful deals before. However, this one isnt one of his best moves. His Raptors are emerging and he needed immediate talent, not some future project.

As for the Bulls, what can Mcderp do that Dunleavy cant?  Ok...maybe he can do Nowitzki fadeaways and post up a little but I dont think it was worth giving up 2 picks to get him. *although baka cap consideration din yung move na yun

McDermott is more versatile, has more range and is a lot better rebounder than Dunleavy bro! There's a lot more McD can do better than Dunleavy.  It was a case of getting a very good player to plug a huge hole in their line up versus getting 2 players who play the same position as Noah and Butler.  And both of them are well established already.

Mukha lang one sided kasi 2 for 1.

I think the Celtics got the best pair of players in Smart and Young in this year's draft.
With Sullinger, Olynyk, Jeff Green plus the pair of rookies, the Celtics will rise again soon.
I'm sure Rondo will be traded sooner or later for some young players or future draft picks.

How i wish that Dante Exum playing for the Spurs.
He's the perfect combo guard that can replace Parker and Ginobili after they retire.

Oh boy!  Lebron deserves the max... but along with roster upgrades?  Parang either or lang.  But if he does get the max, for the Heat to be able to afford upgrades... Bosh and Wade should maybe take less than $10 million?  Rumors say ok na si Wade and Bosh at $15 million annualy.  But if James is seeking the max at $26 million, then hindi nga pwede yun $15 million each kay Bosh and Wade.

Report: LeBron James seeking max deal from Miami, plus roster upgrades

Quote
So ... this complicates matters. The speculative idea after Dwyane Wade opted out Saturday was that he did so with assurances that James would return. With Bosh still undecided on whether to leave behind $20.5 million next season and over $42 million overall and reportedly asking for over $15 million per year, and if James were to indeed ask for the max at $26 million per season ... that gets awfully complicated in trying to build a superteam.

That's $41 million between those two players, with a projected salary cap at $62 million.

Lebron max contract scale
(http://www.hoopsrumors.com/media/2013/10/lebron.jpg)

let's say -- 20m for LBJ, 30m for Wade/Bosh, Haslem - (3m?), cole (2m), napier (1m) +  cap holds for 5 empty roster spots (2.5m) =  around 5M in cap space.

even if the Heat frees up space it's gonna be really limited.

probably not enough for Gortat or Lowry.

EDIT: a different take w/ steeper salary cuts

Lakers tooling up to retain Gasol and add Melo to the mix. If they can ship out Nash through a trade and sign Bledsoe too they would have a heck of a starting 5 in Bledsoe/Kobe/Melo/Randle/Pau. Just get the main go to bench guys back like Bazemore, SwaggyP, Farmar and Hill. I feel that as an organization they are up to something big come July 1.

That botched CP3 deal really screw things up for LA and they still are reeling the effects three years after.

Mukhang byron scott malaking chance na kunin ng Lakers. But Mitch has said that they wont get a coach until they fill out the vacant roster spots. Mas ok yung ganun for me kasi you'll get a coach with the right system for the guys you  have on-board.

I hope they get someone who can mentor Randle to improve his right hand and his defense. I'd love to see him develop into a Karl Malone type on D. Quick, active hands with a knack for stealing the ball. As for offense, kahit Barkley bully ball sana. But Barkley's mentality to be the  best was top notch. Hope Randle has at least the same drive.

^that salary scenario takes into consideration both the Wade and Bosh opt out. I'm assuming that LBJ takes the max and Bosh/Wade takes a salary of 15M each. Hindi "malabo".

The fact that Haslem and Wade already opted out means that they were already guaranteed an extension by Riley. Bosh is soon to follow suit. It's almost a sure thing that that the big 3 will re-sign, they're just working out the details of the extension.

An example somewhat similar to Wade's scenario: Richard Jefferson opts out of his 15M player option to re-sign with the Spurs w/ a 39M/4 yr deal. (http://www.sbnation.com/2010/7/21/1581326/richard-jefferson-spurs-re-sign-39-million) Spurs avoid the luxury tax, RJ gets a longer deal.

Wade just opted out of a 42M/2 yr deal. He'll get re-signed to a longer deal while making less per year. Maybe something like 60M/4 yrs.

Read that too.  But NY can only offer Pau $4M.  If ganun rin lang, sign up with the Clippers for the MLE or stay with the Lakers for a bigger salary.  In both scenarios, he doesn't have to relocate.

Yup...NY is a longshot in signing Pau. Pau's sole problem the last two years is that the coaching staff deemed him virtually useless with the style of play that they imposed on the Lakers. Now that DAntoni is gone the promise of him being utilized to his strengths is clear. My bet is that Pau stays where he is in LA....Lakers or Clippers we won't know hehe

Realistic option ng Heat regarding salary

Here's a article that explains what the Heat can do and what we can do with our exceptions.

By Ira Winderman, South Florida Sun Sentinel
5:34 pm, June 29, 2014
By 5 p.m. Sunday, all the pieces had fallen into place for Part A of the Miami Heat's offseason overhaul, with the formal announcement of Chris Bosh's opt-out.

Now comes Part B of the process, which will reshape a roster beaten down by four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals and this month's collapse against the San Antonio Spurs that denied the Heat a third consecutive championship.

Prior to this rapid-fire round of opt-outs by the Heat's Big Three, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Bosh were positioned to account for just over $61 million of the Heat's 2014-15 payroll. Now, with contracts to be rewritten in coming days thanks to the concessions by the trio, that figure will move closer to $50 million.

While the concessions open the door for a single big-box signing by Pat Riley -- with New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony and Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry at the top of that group -- more likely is an approach to rebuild the championship depth the Heat carried in winning titles in 2012 and '13.

And that could have the Heat remaining over the salary cap but not nearly as deep into the luxury tax as in recent seasons.

A more holistic approach by Riley and his staff could involve utilizing three salary-cap exceptions instead of aggregating all remaining funds for a single addition in free agency.

By operating above the salary cap but under their previous luxury-tax heights, the Heat would have at their disposal:

-- A full mid-level salary-cap exception of $5.3 million to sign one or more free agents.

-- A trade exception left over from the Joel Anthony deal to the Boston Celtics that is worth $2.2 million to acquire a player in a trade.

-- A $2 million bi-annual exception that can be used once in a two-year period by a team operating below the salary cap.

In essence, the Heat's decision could come down to signing a single player in the $8 million range, or adding three (or more) new components with combined 2014-15 salaries in the $10 million range.

By utilizing cap exceptions instead of salary-cap space, it also would allow the Heat to utilize the "Bird Rights" component of the collective-bargaining agreement to re-work contracts for Chris Andersen and Ray Allen above the veteran-minimum scale, where the remainder of the players on the next season's roster otherwise likely would slot.

It could add up to a Heat spreadsheet that features:

-- James, Wade, Bosh and Udonis Haslem, all of whom exited their previous contracts over the past week, returning to new deals at somewhere in the combined range of $53 million for 2014-15.

-- A mid-level player added at $5.3 million (a wish list that might start with Pau Gasol or Trevor Ariza).

-- A player added at the bi-annual $2 million exception (a wish list that might start with Marvin Williams).

-- A player added via the $2.2 million trade exception (players on the current rookie scale fall into this area, but there also could be a sign-and-trade deal with a current free agent willing to play for such an amount).

-- Either Norris Cole at his $2 million 2014-15 salary, or a player acquired in a trade for Cole at a similar salary.

-- First-round pick Shabazz Napier, the point guard out of UConn who is slotted into a $1.03 million rookie-season salary for 2014-15.

That math would give the Heat nine players under contract at $67 million, with plenty of room under the projected $77 million 2014-15 luxury-tax threshold for remaining moves with the likes of Andersen, Allen and perhaps others from this past season's roster (under the collective-bargaining agreement, the Heat cannot re-acquire Mike Miller by any means until July 2015).

What it would add up to would be the type of depth the Heat lacked this past season for the games Wade missed due to his maintenance program, while also limiting the need for James to again lead the offense for extended minutes.

Because of the way the Heat have operated, Tuesday's start of free agency likely will include immediate pitches to the top of the free-agent class, basically with now-or-never offers below what such players could make in other situations.

What follows, however, could offer a truer read, the two, three or four pieces that once again complete the Heat, make the roster something far closer to whole than what was in place by the time the NBA Finals ended earlier this month.

Actually mas maganda sa Clippers compared to the Lakers by a long shot!  A great Coach in Doc Rivers who utilizes your strength.  A great PG in Chris Paul who enjoys passing the ball so you know you'll get your touches.  The main back up for both Griffin and Jordan.  So you still get your minutes either at center or PF.  Imagine Pau making lob passes to both Jordan (when he plays the 4) and Griffin (when he plays the 5).  You have a winning record.  You make the playoffs.  You're an annual title contender.  Best thing is you still live in your house!  No need to relocate.  It's actually close to perfection. ;D

Jason Kidd to coach Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to send two second-round draft picks to the Brooklyn Nets to secure the coaching rights to Jason Kidd, sources tell ESPN.com.

The Bucks had been offering one second-round pick, but the Nets initially wanted a 2015 first-round pick in exchange, a negotiating chip the Bucks originally dismissed.

Hawks trade Lou Williams, Lucas Nogueira for John Salmons in a move to free up cap space


The Hawks and Raptors have reportedly agreed to the rare type of trade that appears to be fairly equal on both sides.

Atlanta gets John Salmons, who has a contract for $7 million next season that is only $1 million guaranteed if he is waived by Monday, which was obviously the plan all along.

Toronto gets Lou Williams and the rights to Lucas Nogueira, an intriguing seven-footer who was selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

It’s win-win because the Hawks will increase their cap space to around $15.5 million after waiving Salmons, which would allow them to add top talent through free agency, provided the team can convince anyone to sign there.

On the Raptors side, they get a nice young prospect in Nogueira, although one who hasn’t yet seemed all that interested in pursuing an NBA career, preferring to stay overseas instead.

Williams has been a backup guard whose production has declined in each of the last three seasons, though he’s proven serviceable at the position, and Toronto may have a need there depending on what happens with Kyle Lowry and Greivis Vasquez in free agency this summer.

From Ramona Shelbourne:

Quote
The Lakers had this idea where they could clear enough [cap] room where they could get [LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony] but then they’d only play for $16 million per year. I don’t think that was ever that realistic. Plus, Kobe [Bryant] was going to have to sell them [on the idea] and say, “It would be just like the Olympic team where I play defense and you guys be the stars.” [Kobe] actually did that. He actually did call both of them and talked to them about it but the sense I get is that neither of them are playing for $16 million each … I think all of this is just these guys having leverage. I think Melo goes back to New York and LeBron goes back to Miami.

Kobe should add that he would also pay both players 4 million each out of his own salary. that would seal the deal :-X

still salty about that huge deal Kobe got >:(

Said the same thing 6 days ago.

I read that after some maneuvering, Lakers can free up as much as $33 million in cap space.  So 1 max FA is possible.  But they are actually targeting Lebron and Anthony for $16.5 million each.  I don't know if that is enough to get both. 

Now this is where the Lakers giving Kobe an extension of $48 million for 2 years are biting them in the butt.  If only the extension was for $16 million annually which is already generous enough given Kobe's age and injuries last season....Lakers actually have a strong chance getting both Anthony and Lebron to play for the Lakers at $20.5 million each.  I think $20 million can get it done.

^ yep. 16m is the best.

anyway, from a source:

Quote
-As far as why Melo would come here(LAKERS) when Chicago has Rose, Noah and Thibs , Houston has Dwight & Harden, and Dallas has Dirk and Cuban... The answer is Kobe. He's the reason. From what I understand, everybody including me blasts him for taking that cap killing contract. But in Kobe's eyes, he saw that even with him taking that much they'd still have room to squeeze in another max guy. Namely Carmelo. Bryant has loved the thought of playing with him, and the feeling is mutual. They respect each other greatly, and Kobe sees fire in Carmelo and wants him to go to battle with him.

-Now whether it would actually translate on court remains to be seen, as well as if Kobe can hold up physically at his current age. There's of course unknowns to it. But the basic want and willingness from the both of them is pretty strong. They think it can work, and Kobe has relayed that directly to Jim Buss, that I do know.

-Regarding cap money left over and so forth, I don't know that. I do know that if they can land Anthony they definitely want Pau back. Haven't heard about point guard options. But obviously this is the big thing they wanna clear first. And if by some chance they didn't get Carmelo, then fallback options would be put in motion.

-Sure things can change. Houston can wow him, Chicago can dazzle him, Dallas can promise him the moon. Hey people have a change of heart every now and again. But as of right now, this minute, I'm hearing Carmelo Anthony will almost certainly be a Laker.

man, im not sure I want Melo. Id rather wait for next  year's batch or 2016's FA batch.

Melo will go to the Lakers for at lesst $20 million. Anything less than that would be irrational.  Because basically he took less money just to play for a lottery team like the one he already has in New York but he'll be paid $24 million there.  And with a very stacked West, NY pa nga has a better chance to make the p,ayoffs even with a losing record than the lakers even if LA goes 45-37. :D

He got lucky with playing time and he got bloated stats under d'antoni last season. To be fair though, he was really playing hard. I watched plenty of games and saw him play well on both ends. Yun nga lang, contract year e. Most players regress after getting signed.

yeah i read that as well. only thing i could think of is that their agent wants a bigger slice of that pie, hence, bigger contracts for his boys. baka 14m or 15m each will do the trick. but kung ako yun, mahirap din magpay cut if you know other teams are willing to pay more especially if nasanay sa lavish lifestyle.

people cite the Spurs big 3 as an example for taking paycuts but it's not that easy. swerte nila simple lifestyle lang siguro si Tim kaya easier for him to take a paycut. but for the Heat big 3? It wont be as easy.

As for overpaid blokes, well, matagal nang uso yan. remember Rashard? Joe Johnson, etc? The trend continues

I think that's 4.5M.  Baka siguro may secret handshake yun Orlando w/ Charlotte na sila talaga magbabayad ng salary.  Or it could also be the team is really under the salary cap with the Afflalo trade and there is a rule sa CBA that you spend a minimum amount of salaries on your team....so why not get someone like him who can play some.

Hibbert though is overpaid.  But centers are hard to find so there really is a premium for them.  So offering Lance more than $14M is insane.  Probably $10-11 should do it.

Wiggins may not be ready yet.  Waiters is streaky.  If his offense is not clicking, he contributes little else.  Hayward is versatile enough that even if he is struggling offensively, he still contributes in other facets of the game... playmaking, rebounding, a little defense, etc. And may mandate yata ang Cavs ownership na playoffs or bust this year.

Kaya pa rin yan.  Konting accounting creativity lang.  Ang important is the average salary. Lets say Bosh, Wade & Lowry each take $12M and Lebron $20m.  That's $56M total.  $63M yata yun cap.  Then add na lang MLE, bi-annual Exception and vets minimum.

Then restructure na lang descending si Lowry while ascending yun big 3...or something like that.

re: ben gordon sigining

BG's contract was probably signed to help the Magic facilitate trades later in the year. The Magic is in at an odd position wherein their highest paid player is Oladipo at 5M a year. Ben Gordon's contract makes them more flexible, trading-wise. (ex. Ben Gordon(4.5M) + Kyle O'Quinn (915K) traded for Brandan Wright(5M) )

Another thing BG's signing addresses is Orlando's lack of outside shooting, while also assuring them that they won't win more games than necessary. Another guy they picked up: Willie Green.

Their probably gonna fill out the rest their rosters with salary dumps from teams wanting to free cap space. Same as the Sixers.

BG's contract isn't desirable to the Magic because it's "cheap", but rather because it's short term and sizable enough to package in a trade.

The current Magic payroll (w/out BG) is less than $30M. The NBA salary floor (minimum payroll for an NBA team) will be about $56.9 M this year. If the Magic payroll is less than the NBA salary floor, they will still get charged by the NBA with the difference.

For a rebuilding team like the Magic, a contract doesn't look bad on paper unless it affects long-term cap flexibility.

Bosh reportedly opted-out to join Kevin Love in Sacramento along with significant role players like Ramon Sessions and Derrick Favors to form the Big 5.

Bosh
Favors
Gay
Love
Sessions

Cousins should be their center so Bosh should be the 6th man which is unlikely.
I expect him to stay with Miami.

Lakers reportedly offered max money to Melo. Not a good move.

I'd rather have a couple of mid-tier talent signings than splurging on 1 max player and having just Nash, Kobe and Melo eating most of the cap. A team with Kobe, Melo and Randle will not win a lot of games. But if they went after the likes of Monroe, Stephenson, Isaiah Thomas, etc + Kobe/Randle/Nash and pieces, that team can be decent. at least compared to the possible team that can be made by signing Melo

CBA Explicit In Not Allowing Prearranged Restructured Contracts
Jul 01, 2014 3:28 AM EDT


Before the official start of free agency on July 1, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Miami Heat had "the framework of deals in place" with LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem to remain with the team.

"Everybody has their [contract] number and has left a little bit of room to let [Pat Riley] maneuver," one source briefed on the contract discussions reportedly told Wojnarowski.

The NBA's collective bargaining agreement, however, does not allow a team and players to have an "express or implied" deal in place in what essentially becomes a restructured contract.

The risk of loss for Wade and Haslem would be severe since the contracts they opted out of are considered vastly more lucrative than what they would command as free agents on the open market.

The following text is from Article XIII of the CBA in regards to circumvention:

Section 2. No Unauthorized Agreements.

(a) At no time shall there be any agreements or transactions of any kind (whether disclosed or undisclosed to the NBA), express or implied, oral or written, or promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent, or understandings of any kind (whether disclosed or undisclosed to the NBA), between a player (or any person or entity controlled by, related to, or acting with authority on behalf of, such player) and any Team (or Team Affiliate):

(i) concerning any future Renegotiation, Extension, or other amendment of an existing Player Contract, or entry into a new Player Contract;

-----

(c) A violation of Section 2(a) or 2(b) above may be proven by director circumstantial evidence, including, but not limited to, evidence that a Player Contract or any term or provision thereof cannot rationally be explained in the absence of conduct violative of Section 2(a) or 2(b).

The perfect model of that is the Spurs. No max salary superstars supported by effective and capable role players plus they follow a system thats orchestrated by a genius of a coach. They just proved that formula can take a team to the top.

nah. it is most likely true. Melo doesnt need to take a paycut anyway so it would be bad to offer him anything other than the max.

@YannisNBA: Lakers' chances continue to be portrayed as slim for Carmelo, but being only team willing to offer max in this process has to mean something

Well, Mitch is no RC Buford and we dont have a great coach like Pops so there's that. Anyway, what Im saying is that it would better to build a team now with a bunch of mid-tier talents and not use up all of the cap. Malabo naman kasi maka-championship this year so why not build a decent team first then next year, pag may natirang cap, kuha ulit ng talents.

Their number one pitch would be in few years time Melo will be the face of the franchise and they have the money to put quality players around him plus the fact that they will take care of him till the day he retires....just like what they did with the Mamba.

on a sidenote even if they had a losing season the LA franchise made more than 100M last year in profit. Taxes? thats nothing for them. During the meeting with Melo they had executives from Time Warner Sports channel with them.

I agree on getting him with the price so that they can still get Gasol/Monroe and perhaps another impact player like Stephenson

Iba nag lure ng West Coast sa mga athletes. they simply have everything there that young athletes desire....the best resto's, beaches, megabuck houses, sports car galore, outlandish lifestyle, rubbing shoulders with celebrities etc. You do all of that plus make money while playing the sport that you love. If you can have all of that while being a champion then all the better.

Now look at it from the perspective of playing in Oklahoma....... ::)  or Houston....or somwhere in the East where most of the time its freakin cold.

If Melo's decision will be influenced by his wife this dillema is over 24 hours ago hehehe

He needs to just say no ASAP to the Lakers so Mitch can move on to other free agents who deserve to play for the Lakers.

Me as well. for me he doesnt deserve to be the face of the franchise. If I were them I'd sit this year out, develop Randle and go all out for KD. In time maiinis sa Management yan because of their kuripot culture and maiinis din kay Westbrook yan because he might realize that he cant win with him hehehe

Bawal talaga yan. However, such violations are very hard to prove.

Pwedeng sabihing speculation lang ang mga tweet ni Wojnarowski

Pwedeng kasuhan yan pag may matinding ebidensya, katulad sa kaso ni Joe Smith...

Quote
According to J.A. Adande, then of the Los Angeles Times, the entire plan was blown open when agents Eric Fleisher and Andrew Miller parted ways. Miller retained Smith and superstar teammate Kevin Garnett in the split, which prompted a lawsuit that led to the unearthing of many documents, including those detailing the Timberwolves’ illegal agreement with Smith.

That's because Mitch doesn't have a clue on what direction to go.  He doesn't know whether to get a coach first or get players.  He said he will concentrate on big name FAs next year.  But is heavily putting on an effort to get one now.

Speaking of summer league, the top rookies this year played terrible.haha

Gordon, Payton, Smart and Shabust all looked lackluster today. Lalo si Gordon nakakatawa sa offense. If it is not a dunk, dont count on it to go in. Started the game with 2 airballs. Si Smart naman was really playing his role as a point guard. Most plays he was looking to pass and distribute the ball. The other plays when he decided to take a jumper? Clank!!! Haha

As for Shabust, he missed a lot of easy baskets. It was evident that he doesnt know how to finish at the rim. Missed a very open layup.

However, mukhang may isang 'rookie' na may chance mag ROY - Nerlens Noel. He was ready to ball kanina. First possession pa lang he was able to slam it na. If Noel and Embiid pan out as great players, Philly is going to be a dominant team in the future.

Stayed up late to watch the ORL-PHI match up too. Noel doesn't look like he's in terrific shape yet, but he looks really good. He's only credited for 1 block, but he bothered a lot of shots. Some very quick hands too.

Si Payton di man lang nakaporma. Gordon's perf went about as expected based on his college play. Devyn Marble looks like a natural. Mcdaniels hasn't been unleashed yet, but he looked decent -- blocked a couple of shots in less than 20 minutes of play. Kawawa si Pierre Jackson - torn Achilles.  :(

Lakers move into contention to sign Carmelo Anthony

Quote
The Lakers' roster is stripped of talent, and the combination of Bryant and Anthony possessing max contracts would limit the financial flexibility to upgrade the roster. Nevertheless, Anthony keeps a home in Los Angeles and the franchise's pitch has resonated with him.

Impressive si Noel on offense and on D, his long limbs were very bothersome for the opposing player. I hope he continues to improve.

Kawawa nga si Jackson. Ganda ng laro nya kanina. Looked like a real gamer. Also liked that pesky guy who kept bugging Oladipo the whole time.haha

McRoberts and Granger commits to HEAT ...... Riley moves revealed.

http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/11187465/josh-mcroberts-commits-four-year-deal-miami-heat

McRoberts is a tough kid, decent passer - which is always a welcome in any team ...... however, it had to take the full mid-level exception to sign him up.

When healthy, Granger should provide decent minutes off the bench ....... didn't break the bank to sign him up as well.

Will this be enough to convince Lebron to return.  ;)

I think Granger took the bi-annual.  If everything stays the same.... vet minimum na lang ang Miami the rest of the way barring any trade or sign & trade.

^ Yup, Granger did take the bi-annual ..... the good news is, Riley is known for "fleecing" serviceable vets on taking the vet minimum e.g. Lewis, Oden, etc.

I think it will take a decent PG signing to finally convince Lebron to stay with the HEAT ...... havent seen the list of eligibles yet, sino pa ba ang available na notable PG's out there ?

Everyone is waiting for Lebron ..... parang domino lang ito, once Lebron decides, everything else will fall into place really fast.  ;D

From CBA standpoint,  sugal ginawa ni Riley (unless of course sure na siya na babalik yung tatlong kolokoys) kasi MLE and BAE gagamitin. Cant use those two if you still have cap space. So Riley is assuming talaga na puno yung cap space nya.

That's actually an excellent offer for Bosh.  He said he doesn't want to rumble inside the paint anymore and just wants to shoot jumpers.  Howard will do that now.  So he gets a max contract just camping in the corners or elbows and shoot jumpers all day from assists or passes off of Harden penetrations.

San ka pa? ;D

That's actually an excellent offer for Bosh.  He said he doesn't want to rumble inside the paint anymore and just wants to shoot jumpers.  Howard will do that now.  So he gets a max contract just camping in the corners or elbows and shoot jumpers all day from assists or passes off of Harden penetrations.

San ka pa? ;D

I actually also think its time for bosh to move.  He's taken too much of a back seat to lebron and wade.  The way he retooled his shooting range to include the 3 is not easy considering that his game in the past was midrange jumpers and driving to the basket.

Only, from what Ive read, there has been no contact yet  between Bosh and  the  Rockets. Broussard and ESPN has been really terrible with their reports. Sa kawalan nila ng info, they just  make up crap out of thin air, spin it until it looks real and people will believe it.

Pansinin nyo tweets nyang si Broussard. Nakakatawa.

Eto isang example:

@Chris_Broussard: Anyone who knows LeBron well knows his decision will be made by him alone, not by Rich Paul, Maverick Carter or Pat Riley...

LEBRON TO ANNOUNCE DECISION AT UNITED NATIONS
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2014/07/lebron-to-announce-decision-at-united-nations.html

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—N.B.A. superstar LeBron James said Tuesday morning that he would announce the name of the team that he is signing with on Thursday at a special session of the United Nations General Assembly to be convened especially for that purpose.

“This decision affects everyone on the planet,” James said. “I want to let all the nations on Earth know at the same time.”

An emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday was deadlocked on the issue, with seven members wanting James to remain in Miami, seven others hoping for a return to Cleveland, and Lithuania abstaining.

The Miami Heat president, Pat Riley, and the Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, both confirmed that they would be in the audience at the United Nations to hear James announce his decision. “I’m not going to lie: I wish he’d tell me in advance,” Riley said. “But I guess I’ll have to wait to hear along with Russia, China, Ecuador, and everybody else. That’s the way LeBron wants it.”

To help him with his decision, the N.B.A. star has assembled an esteemed circle of advisers, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the scientist Stephen Hawking, all of whom are expected to be in attendance for the United Nations announcement.

The U.N. General Secretary, Ban Ki-moon, acknowledged on Tuesday that the world body had many other issues on its plate, including conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, but added, “It’s really hard to focus on anything until we know where LeBron is going.”

Breaking: LeBron James Leaning Toward Joining Al-Qaeda

MIAMI—After viewing its latest pitch highlighting all he could accomplish with its organization, NBA power forward LeBron James confirmed Tuesday that he is currently leaning toward joining the militant Islamic group Al-Qaeda. “I’ve been doing my due diligence, and right now I’m really interested in [Al-Qaeda leader] Ayman al-Zawahiri’s vision and what he has already built over there,” said James, adding that while he has also considered offers from terrorist organizations such as Boko Haram and the Taliban, he believes heading to Al-Qaeda remains his best opportunity to defeat the West in the immediate future. “It seems like they’re open to doing a max deal, but I’d be willing to take a pay cut if that’s what it’ll take for them to bring in a big-time cell leader to work alongside me. Of course, I also can’t ignore their storied history and the fact that they have such a loyal following. I’m certain they have the personnel to take out both L.A. and San Antonio. Overall, I think moving to the Arabian Peninsula is the best option for me right now, and it will help take me to the next level.” At press time, James confirmed that his agent Rich Paul, who has been overseas negotiating with the group, has not been heard from in six days.   >:D >:D

anyway, a more realistic rumor:  Nike has bought all available billboards in Cleveland. It might be for the Return of the King ads IF he does sign with the Cavs. :D

hmmmm.. on a business standpoint.. maybe nike does have an insider knowledge where lbj is headed to...

interesting..

on a side note.. will he make "the decision" part 2? or has he learned from his previous mistake>

my opinion.. make "the decision 2" if he's going back to cleveland.. otherwise, dont do it na.. unless he wants to play the bad guy again and get millions of backlash...

I'd actually respect them more if they cheer for the Cavs because that was where they started anyway, as Cavs fans supporting their favorite player Lebron.  What I was unable to appreciate with the Heat big 3 was their arrogance, they built a super team and mocked all other teams whenever they won.  Who wants to see a Heavyweight beat a lightweight in a boxing match that goes 12 rounds with the Heavyweight telling the lightweight, "you hit like a girl"?

I'm a little too lazy to look for links but recent memory would be Lebron's back breaker antics and what you mentioned during the Dallas heat finals.  Michael Jordan celebrated his wins by jumping and hugging teammates, LBJ likes rubbing it in peoples faces.  Maybe mocking was the incorrect word to use but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to describe. And I wasn't very appreciative of his Finals MVP speech, "I'm Lebron James yada yada yada" and when the Heat lost to the Mavs he says that the haters will wake up with their miserable lives or something like that. He is hands down the most dominant/complete/talented player in modern basketball, but I just wished he had a little more humility, it would make him a lot easier to like.  Maybe he is the Floyd Mayweather of Basketball?  A man so talented you'd love to see him lose because of all the bravado?  --I think so, maybe.

i don't get it. you hated his antics but all those antics will just go away once he returns to the Cavs? like he'll just change all of a sudden and won't be, as you've said, arrogant/brash? if you've hated how he celebrates when they win or score an emphatic dunk then how about other players who do the same?

I'm on mobile so i'll check the video some other time, for some reason it doesnt wanna open on an ipad, pc lang ata pwede.As for LBJ going back to the cavs, i'll have more respect for him because he's the only superstar and he carried the team.  I'll try my best to explain what i feel about it, lets say i join a basketball tournament and im in the right division(seniors for example).  If i celebrate or taunt the other team i feel that its ok kasi patas ang labanan but if i join a little league division (midgets or mosquitos) but im already a senior and then i celebrate and taunt a team that is not of the same level, i find it off kasi to begin with you are expected to win.

We'll there are a few other players that i just cant appreciate when they taunt, Gary Payton is someone I remember.  Kobe Bryant was brash and arrogant too, specially when he was with shaq, i also had a hard time appreciating him then pero when he got older and mellowed a bit, ok naging ok narin ako kay Kobe.

I hope i was able to explain myself a bit.  Medyo mahirap describe eh.

The Boston Celtics will acquire Tyler Zeller, Marcus Thornton, a 2016 first round draft pick as a part of a three-way deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets, according to ESPN's Marc Stein. The Nets and Cavaliers have been trying to find a third team to take on Thornton's expiring contract and the Celtics were able to use part of their $10.3 million trade exception to absorb it.

The Nets will receive Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev, while the Cavaliers will receive something (probably a distant second round pick) as a means of creating cap space for LeBron James, who is expected to sign this week.

Yung kay Kobe, he was on vacation with his family in Greece, not watching the World Cup at that time. He was supposed to make it to the meeting but then the Knicks suddenly asked for a meeting so the Lakers meeting with Melo was bumped to an earlier time.

Most teams gunning for the big stars of the 2003 draft class are being held hostage right now. It is hard to make hasty moves that would impact the cap space. kaya nga si Randle hindi pa sinasign and might not play in Summer league dahil sa paghihintay sa decision ni Melo. Just because walang narereport sa media about the Lakers' plan, doesn't mean walang plan. Come on. You're smart enough to know that. Mitch is not like Isaiah or Kahn stupid. Also, I like it better pag walang rumors about the next Lakers move. That means magaling magtago ng info and it might also mean na ayaw lang nila mag leak yung info kasi baka masulot ng ibang teams.

If the Lakers strike out, Im okay with that just as long as they did everything to pry top players. Pero to say na walang plan B si Mitch, that is totally BS

EDIT:
 ;)

That's right it was bumped to an earlier time.  Not a day earlier or a week earlier...hours earlier lang.  If the Lakers really had plans to pursue Anthony, then you circle that date and adjust your plans accordingly.  Also I'm not really dissing Kobe about not being able to attend the meeting.  Ribbing....yes.  It just shows all of these were not really planned ahead of time like starting last summer or during the season.   ;)  Teams like the Rockets were already preparing even if Melo was still to announce that he will forego his last year of his contract.

The Randle signing is dependent on Melo? Di ba first round rookies already have guaranteed money? It doesn't matter what Melo does.  You can already count Randle's salary against the cap.  The Melo signing or not signing is not the deciding factor in signing Randle. You are also smart enough to know that Mitch has been indecisive in his plan of action the past year.. no big-time FA in 2014, trade the 7th pick, keep the 7th pick, etc.  Also he is stuck in what to do first... hire a coach to help recruit FAs or get players first who will pick their coach.  While this indecisiveness has cost them other potential FAs and miss out on Lionel Hollins.  They are also indecisive right now with Pau Gasol.  Most likely they would not be able to re-sign him.  Parang they want to resign him and not resign him at the same time... ;D

You have read a lot of NBA articles already.  Siguro naman you know that no negotiation is ever a secret.  These sportswriters may not have a 100% batting average, but they write about and leak the latest rumors out there no matter how outrageous.  They might get only 1 out of 10 rumors....but they still get it right that one time.  But not writing about the Lakers might be just that... nothing really to write about. ;D. I have said it before I never said Mitch was stupid.  Only he is clueless right now on what direction to take.  And that confusion right now is what is fueling his indecision.  Kaya nga mas kabahan ka if wala ka naririnig na rumors sa Lakers.  Hindi dahil super secret siya....more of baka wala talaga alam ano next na gagawin in what is likely a failed attempt at Carmelo Anthony.

That's right it was bumped to an earlier time.  Not a day earlier or a week earlier...hours earlier lang.  If the Lakers really had plans to pursue Anthony, then you circle that date and adjust your plans accordingly.  Also I'm not really dissing Kobe about not being able to attend the meeting.  Ribbing....yes.  It just shows all of these were not really planned ahead of time like starting last summer or during the season.   ;)  Teams like the Rockets were already preparing even if Melo was still to announce that he will forego his last year of his contract.

You have to consider that the Lakers did not foresee how crappy they'd become after the Howard saga. If they could have only foreseen the future, they would have taken Melo from Denver for Bynum. Mitch had to adjust his plans drastically after he went all in with the Nash-Howard experiment. After that failed, the plan was to either get stars in 2014,2015 or 2016...until that Kobe contract happened. I am still dumbfounded with that contract and I partly blame it for this year's small cap space. But I'm pretty sure even with that, Mitch has been doing his job as best as he can. I have faith in him.

The Randle signing is dependent on Melo? Di ba first round rookies already have guaranteed money?

Only concern I have about not signing Randle is that I wont see him in summer league. Common knowledge naman yun na counted na si Randle sa salary. What is not common knowledge is that not signing him yet would give the Lakers a little bit more cap room. Randle's rookie contract has $500k less cap hold while he is unsigned. I guess the thinking is that every penny counts in their offers to stars. they can still sign Randle naman after they go over the cap.

RE: Big time FAs, it has been rumored that Jim Buss is the one telling Mitch to swing for the fences. Word in LA is that he really wants to come out of his father's shadow. Mitch on the other hand is just following the boss' orders, IMO.

RE: Coaching search, I don't know how you can consider making a statement that they will hire a coach after filling out the roster as being indecisive.  ???

RE: Pau Gasol, I am sure you've already read articles mentioning that Pau Gasol would be re-signed if Melo comes so I don't know why you're even bringing that up. Also, Pau would not want to play for the Lakers anyway if it would just be him, Kobe, Randle and scraps. The Lakers would love to keep him for the right amount.

Well another example nga.  They went all in thinking the Laker brand alone as well an extra year and more money is enough to entice Howard to resign.  They were wrong. It is actually an example of Lakers management of not having a back up plan for that.

That's useless.  Whether signed or not you go into FA negotiation taking into account the rookie contract is already counted against the cap whether signed or unsigned.  Makes little difference.

RE: Coaching search, I don't know how you can consider making a statement that they will hire a coach after filling out the roster as being indecisive.  ???

Indecisive in the sense that early on Lakers don't know if they should hire a coach first or get players first then hire a coach.

RE: Pau Gasol, I am sure you've already read articles mentioning that Pau Gasol would be re-signed if Melo comes so I don't know why you're even bringing that up. Also, Pau would not want to play for the Lakers anyway if it would just be him, Kobe, Randle and scraps. The Lakers would love to keep him for the right amount.

I am sure you also have read articles that if they struck out on the big name FAs that their best option is to re-sign Gasol albeit on a huge discount. Thus the mention.

Well then ano tawag sa pag reach out kina Isaiah Thomas, Lance Stephenson, Eric Bledsoe, etc? And while waiting for Melo to decide, why would they give those RAs an offer sheet, eh di natali yung kapiranggot na cap space nila.

Ano nga ba tawag dun? Was there a call nga? I am not aware.  Ang nabasa ko sportwriters simply saying they could be a player for the Lakers. Yun offer sheet, sabi ko naman target pa lang.  Even target wala pa.

As a fan for years, mas gusto ko pag tahimik lang. I remember the Pau Gasol acquisition, walang rumors nun before it happened.

Well just because you don't read anything doesn't mean there is something going on either.  About the MLE and BAE, pwede naman mag negotiate even now. You only need committments from potential FAs.  If they sign a major FA and are over the cap, then use the MLE & BAE.  If not overthe cap, then normal FA signing.  Better than not doing anything or putting all your eggs in one basket which they seem to be doing with the Melo situation.

$500k is not useless. That's extra money pa din to offer the players. let's say instead of 16m, 16.5m pwede ma-offer. I would never ever say that $500k is useless...even millionaires wont say that.

It is not Kupchak's fault that Dwight felt he had a better future with the Rockets after he saw Nash and Kobe break down. There was nothing left for him. The blame should not be on Mitch. And it was clear that he was planning something for this year by getting players who would sign 1-year deals like Swaggy P, Kaman,etc last season. That was a clear plan. The only guy whom I think is messing with that plan is Jim Buss.

And yes, they have sent feelers to the players I've mentioned. Even Isaiah Thomas said he was willing to wait until the Melo-drama has ended (hope he really does wait.)

The problem with your suggestion is that most of the decent players available are RFAs. And kung unrestricted man, ang rumor sa LA is that they are only offering 2-year deals para naman sa 2016 free agency na tatarget naman si Durant. Mahirap makaattract ng decent players for 2-year deals. Im pretty sure Mitch has been diligently calling the free agents' agents to make their interest known. Contrary to your notion, he is not sitting idly and clueless while waiting for Melo to decide. May reports nga na he barely gets enough sleep working the phone.

First, I never said $500k per se is useless.  I said it's useless using it as a bargaining chip when it comes to FA negotiations.  You go into meetings counting the rookie contract as already part of your cap.  Secondly, I never said Mitch was sitting idly either.  What I said was Mitch is clueless on what direction to take.  No concrete plan of action.  He may be doing his job diligently but what course does he envision the Lakers to be? Running team, defensive team, tirangle, half court team, etc.

As for the Howard saga, you already know beforehand that there's a risk that Dwight might just be a one year rental.  Yes they took the risk.  But did they prepare something in the event Dwight leaves?  As for the rental players in Kaman and Swaggy P...yun may plan si Mitch.  To be players this year.  But then he also did say he was gonna wait til 2015.  But did not.  So he was not really prepared to chase FAs this year.

However this is all unrelated already to my point that Mitch doesn't have a clue on what direction the Lakers should go. Tank again, chase a big name FA and be competitive this year, wait til 2015, etc.

As for players.... Evan Turner is one.  Might even be had for $2M on a one year deal.  There are options.

Masyado palang komplikado ang sitwasyon ng Rockets, in terms giving  Bosh a potential max deal

Quote from: Larry Coon, CBA Expert
So let's do some math. Suppose Houston dumps Lin & Asik with $0 coming back. They renounce Daniels, Garcia & Hamilton. They waive Casspi ...Beverley, Covington & Powell. They keep QO to Parsons & Capela's draft rights. They have Dwight, Harden, Jones, Motiejunas & Canaan.

..With that configuration, they can give Bosh $16,427,992. Pretty short of his $20,644,400 max.

So let's renounce Capela & Parsons. Cap room rises to $19,279,451. STILL short of a max offer, and they don't have rights to Parsons.

To keep Parsons' rights & still sign Bosh to max, they have to dump another $3,732,744 in guaranteed salary. That's Jones AND Motiejunas.

So to get Bosh at max AND keep Parsons, Daryl Morey just needs to dump Asik, Lin, Jones AND Motiejunas with no salary coming he other way, ...along with throwing overboard everything that's not bolted down.

Since a couple of you have asked, yes, I know that there are potential deals for both Asik & Lin. If they can dump more (say to Philly in...the Lin deal), Daryl Morey could potentally pull it off. A lot of pieces have to come together, though.

But then he'd have Dwight, Harden, Bosh, Parsons, Canaan, Room exception, and minimum salary contracts. And if Parsons signs an offer sheet, ...then he has to do it all in a big hurry

https://twitter.com/LarryCoon

*note that Asik won't be technically traded until July 13, and that Parsons just agreed to an offer sheet with the Mavs.

Post by: DVD_Freak on Jul 10, 2014 at 06:18 PM
I think Daryl Morey can get it done.  He just needs to get committment first that Bosh would indeed sign.  If I recall, when Dwight finally chose the Rockets, dun pa lang nag wheeling and dealing ang Rockets to fit Howard Financially.  And dun pa lang they already have plans to add a third max player in the event an opportunity comes along.

Ang tingin ko lang yun offer sheet ni Parsons was not part of the plan.  Kaya medyo maguguluhan ng konte yun diskarte ni Morey.

Hay I like Parsons. To me they should just stay put with the team that they have. Forget Bosh. Playing together for a few years is better than adding players (superstars). Actually to me it's not the superstars that will win you the championship, its the role players. You can have 3 superstars and it still won't get it done.

The most important thing is they get along with each other.

Good job Mark Cuban! He not only gave an offer sheet to a good player, he also put some obstacles to the Rockets' moves to get better.

That's right it was bumped to an earlier time.  Not a day earlier or a week earlier...hours earlier lang.  If the Lakers really had plans to pursue Anthony, then you circle that date and adjust your plans accordingly.  Also I'm not really dissing Kobe about not being able to attend the meeting.  Ribbing....yes.  It just shows all of these were not really planned ahead of time like starting last summer or during the season.   ;) 


Last summer, Melo had not yet opted out. Melo had not yet scheduled a meeting with the Lakers. On the other hand, the World Cup was already scheduled. So you can only plan ahead so much, unless by planning ahead, Mitch was supposed to tell Kobe not to have any plans in July on the off chance that LBJ, Melo etc would opt out and would schedule the meeting on July [x date].

Though the SPURS Big 3 are indeed past their prime, they're still very much capable of taking over a game or a series - which is what superstars are expected do.

Duncan & Ginobli had a rebirth of sorts this season ....... Leonard turned into a borderline superstar.

Those '04 PISTONS (my all time fave team, aside from those circa 80's Isiah teams) had no superstars ...... Billups was probably the closest one on that team.

While looking at Leonard's stats, I just discovered that his 18PPG is the lowest scoring average for a Finals MVP since Magic Johnson had 16.2PPG in 1982.

So you can only plan ahead so much, unless by planning ahead, Mitch was supposed to tell Kobe not to have any plans in July on the off chance that LBJ, Melo etc would opt out and would schedule the meeting on July [x date].

Rockets, Mavs and even the Knicks were already preparing last summer to be big players in the FA market.  In the case of the Knicks, PhilJax was meeting with Melo way before he announced he would opt out.  Teams know who are potentially opting out and prepared accordingly.  But as late as January 2014, Kupchack already said they are simply not signing anyone to a big contract this summer and instead holding cap space for 2015.

July 1 was already set way ahead were FAs can negotiate with teams.  Anthony Opted out June 22.  Those are just the 2 dates to remember.  So you pretty much have an idea that as early as July 1 you set up a meet with Melo.

So June 22 pa lang you circle the July 1 date.

going back to king james :)

got this in other forum:

lebron to rejoin cavs-will-be-announced-on-his-web-site-before-he-leaves-for-world-cup

The Decision has been made, even though it hasn’t been made public by the man himself. LeBron James is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a league source tells SheridanHoops.com.

James met with Miami Heat president Pat Riley on Wednesday in Las Vegas to deliver the news, and Riley did his best to try to get James to reconsider, comparing the stability of the Heat organization to the relative instability of the Cavs, who have a meddling owner and have changed general managers and coaches several times in the past few years, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The meeting lasted about an hour, and James and his advisors then met for dinner. James’ stance did not change, according to the source, but no public pronouncements were made. An official announcement will eventually be made on www.lebronjames.com, as I first reported Tuesday. The news will become official before James leaves Saturday for the World Cup final in Brazil.

For Cleveland, this is one of the most important events in the city’s sports history. No pro team has won a title of any kind since the Browns won the NFL Championship in 1964, and now there is a distinct possibility that the 50-year drought can end. James will be joining a team led by Kyrie Irving, who just agreed to a five-year contract extension, along with Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 pick in last month’s draft.

It is a young core that will grow older with James as their tutor and leader, and he returns to Cleveland as a grown man who has learned what it takes to win. The Cavs prepared for the move by dumping Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller, Sergei Karasev along with a 2016 first-round draft pick to clear $23 million in salary cap room (they received nothing else in return) — the surest sign of all that they are expecting James to return.

For Miami, it’ll be the end of an era — a four-year period in which a superteam was constructed and went to four straight NBA Finals.

Why is this happening? It comes down to LeBron building a legacy, which leads us to three points:

There is nothing left for him to accomplish in Miami. He went there for four years, he went to the NBA Finals all four years, and he won two titles while learning what it takes to be a champion. Nobody can ever take that away from him.

A chance to return home as a successful, seasoned adult with a chance to deliver the city of Cleveland its first championship since 1964 is too much of a legacy opportunity for James to pass up.

And another thing: With all due respect to Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, the best player he has a chance to team up with is named Kyrie Irving.

Once James makes his intentions known publicly (and the same goes for Carmelo Anthony, who reportedly will stay with the New York Knicks), the free agency dam is going to burst.

Greg Monroe, Pau Gasol, Trevor Ariza, Luol Deng, Lance Stephenson. They are all going to lock up their deals in a very short span of time, and it is going to be madness. - See more at: http://prosportsdaily....l#sthash.o86UN1Wk.dpuf

His legacy has already taken a hit when he went to Miami. Going back to Cleveland would be seen as correcting a wrong done.

Lakers’ pitch to Carmelo practically ignored Carmelo

And Lakers legend and Hall of Famer James Worthy, who was part of the Lakers contingent that met with Anthony last week in Los Angeles, said the goal of the meeting was to convince Anthony’s wife, La La Vazquez, of Hollywood’s merits.

“I told Carmelo, I said, ‘I wish your wife were here because she’s more popular than you in Los Angeles.’ We’re trying to recruit her, because if you can get La La, Carmelo has no say-so. So, we’re trying to get her to Hollywood.

“Hollywood is right here. She can do whatever she wants.”

Bosh agrees to return to Heat with five-year, $118 million deal

Chris Bosh is headed back to Miami and the Houston Rockets are reportedly in trouble.

CBSSports.com's Ken Berger confirms a Yahoo Sports and NBA.com report that Bosh has reached an agreement with the Heat to stay in Miami after LeBron James went to Cleveland Friday for a max contract.

Quote
    Chris Bosh is finalizing an agreement to return to Miami on a five-year, $118M deal, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
    — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 11, 2014

The moves comes hours after Houston cleared max cap space to give Bosh the max four-year, $88 million a team outside of Miami could offer. They offered no state income tax, a roster stacked to the gills with James Harden, Dwight Howard, Bosh, and Chandler Parsons after the Rockets would have matched the max offer sheet the Mavericks signed Parsons too.

The EAST has a new playoff team in the CAVS - this might make Melo decide against returning to the KNICKS ...... assuming Rose is fully healthy, the BULLS will be the winning choice.

Should the BULLS get Melo without giving up Gibson & Butler, they should become the favorites along with the PACERS.

Now, should Love sign up with the CAVS as well, the EASTERN conference playoffs level-ups bigtime.

Report: Pau Gasol turned down 2-year, $20 million-plus Lakers deal

Free agent Pau Gasol has turned down a two-year deal from the Los Angeles Lakers worth more than $10 million per season, according to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, and he's likely going elsewhere after six-and-a-half-seasons in Los Angeles.

    I'm very close to deciding. Thank you all for your interest and support! #FreeAgency
    — Pau Gasol (@paugasol) July 11, 2014

The Lakers agreed to re-sign Nick Young and Jordan Hill on Friday, and they agreed to acquire Jeremy Lin from the Houston Rockets in a trade. Unless Carmelo Anthony joins the team, these moves likely will not lead to a huge jump in the standings next season, and the 34-year-old Gasol has spoken repeatedly about wanting to contend for a title.

Oh my. Houston if effed if Bosh does stay with Miami.haha They already made moves to accommodate him.

As for my Lakers...the tank is running again! Hahaha get that bottom 5 pick! Jordan Hill $18mill/2yrs(team option 2nd yr), SwaggyP $22mill/4yrs(player option 4th yr). Lakers will be players again in free agency next season with around $27million of cap space if Hill's team option is not picked up (Nash and Lin contracts expire next year).

With Utah getting Dante Exum and apparently matching the offer sheet of Hayward... Lakers now will be unchallenged for the 15th seed in the west and try to break their own 27 win season with even less wins.  Specially with Gasol jumping ship.

Maybe the Heat situation isn't that dire after all. ;D

Nah. He is ready to go. I praise him for not throwing a hissy fit during his presscon yesterday. He says he is still impatient but he will only focus on things he can control. He may never get a chance to get another ring again at this point. Im just going to enjoy his last years in purple and gold.

Lagot yung Suns mo bro baka masilat yung pick na bigay ng Lakers for Nash.

The Heat should already abandon all hope and just tank hard. Lucky for them, the pick they gave Cleveland is top10 protected. So expect them to be bottom dwellers.

Sana maglabasan yung mga Heat fans. Miss ko na mga posts nila and their bravado

Hindi sila uubra sa mga true Lakers fans... sa init at lamig.. sa taasman o sa ibaba... True lakers fans nakikita pag asaran hannggang sa Huli.

ang sarap sarap talaga maging lakers fans.. putik si Lin na ayaw ko napunta pa ata sa Lakers therefore tanggapin at supportahan  ta ka Lin :)

I'm happy with the contracts we got, plus the 2015 pick from the Rockets in case we don't get top 5. Hope we get another pick or asset c/o Pau.

baka mas worse pa nga this coming season ang Lakers :(  ... ok lang yan.. hinihintay na lang namain mag retire si Kobe. Well 48M is just an advance gift to Kobe.. business is business kung baga.. only LAL FO can do that.. but as fans we want a roster can bring LAL in Finals.  tulad nga nang sinabi ko dati pa.. 2017  pa tlaga malalaman kung pwede bumalik ang LAL ... wow three year pa baka more pa.

But compare to MIA team now... cguro mga 20more years pa bago sila maka balik sa Finals.

We only signed Hill for that much because it offers flexibility. If we went after the likes of Isaiah Thomas, Monroe, Bledsoe, Stephenson - lahat yan naghahanap ng long term deals for security. That would restrict the Lakers in free agency for the next two years which they have planned to be key players (especially 2016).

I like it. Now they really have set their minds to rebuild. They got a pick from the Rockets. We need to build with young players. Tama na yung quick fix.

I was here when the Heat was the worst team in the East back in 07-08 and i'll still be here now. medyo badtrip lang yung offer kay Bosh masyadong malaki.

Actually did the same thing to Miami, that he did to Cleveland in 2010 i.e. bolted to the team which would give him better opportunity to win moving forward. despite less money.

if I was a Miami fan, my only gripe would be that after giving LBJ a team good enough to go to 4 finals appearance in 4 years, he left team high and dry the first sign of adversity.

Ang inisip ko naman dito, even if IT2 or Lance ask for 4 year deals, they would still be assets in year 3 or 4 which other teams would be interested in. so, while we won't have cap space, there would be interested trade partners.

because of what Lakers did now, next year, blank slate ulit. Just Kobe, Randle, Young, maybe Clarkson and 2015 draft pick(s). So, if you're a free agent whose focus is winning, mahirap din to pick the Lakers since there's no team yet. Although, we might have room for 2 FAs again.

Meanwhile, I'm rooting against all Kevin Love potential trades. So he can just join the Lakers outright next year. Hahaha.

The CAVS Anthony Bennet looking good ...... a.) it's Summer League ..... b.) he has nowhere to go but up, since he was a zero during his rookie season

He's still on the fat-side of things though ...... it looks like the kind of inherent weight which will be hard to shed off e.g. Zach Randolph - though Randolph makes great use of his weight, being a post-heavy player

The best case for the CAVS, Bennet plays and looks good some more, then trade him for nice pieces to surround Lebron.

Cavs cursed LBJ left and right yet he decided to go back...they had to endure a 4year bad record but that doesn't make them "basura". These organizations THINK...and they think long term...they don't think like bandwagon fans and fair weather fans...

Wasn't really much impressed with Wiggins.  Mas OK yun Jabari Parker.  Will Wiggins be traded for Kevin Love? 

Cavs also trying to lure Ray Allen and Mike Miller.

---


On the Lakers front, maganda ang showing ni Clarkson sa debut game nya although they lost.  I think he'll make waves as a Laker.  A Fil-am then may kasama pa syan Asian -- LINSANITY!  Ayos ah.  Also Nick Young and Jordan Hill have re-signed for LA.  I would guess one more superstar will join LA,in the light of the LBJ coming home to Cleveland news.  Either Melo or Kevin Love...

Kasi yung akin lang, malakas tumira sa Lakers yung mga Heat fans pero ngayong iniwan na sila ni Lebrob, aba, oras na namin bumawi. Bumabawi lang ako sa mga tumira sa Lakers. Di naman kelangan angat na Lakers. Kelangan lang, lubog na ang Heat. Haha

Im a guy who grew up na malakas manganchaw, at least im transparent about that. I wont pretend to throw nice words towards things/people i dislike. Dinobosh, Shabust, GrannyDanger, D-whistle. I like calling them names.

For the record,ok lang naman walang specific team. Wag lang sana magpapanggap na hindi hater when it is obvious na hater ka ng isang specific team. Calling Mitch clueless? What about now? Clueless pa din ba with his plan to play sa free agency next year and in 2016? I think not.


Yan ang hirap kasi yun pinapansin lang, yun posts ko about Lakers.  Sa mga reply, obviously hindi pinansin yun posts ko about tinitira ko rin si Lebron and the Heat.  Pinopost ko rin naman yun team that I'm rooting for.  Obviously again hindi rin pinapansin.  Yun nakikita lang yun Lakers post ko.  I read all your posts as well as others.  Kaya nga alam ko Laker fan ka.  Hindi naman kita tinanong anong team mo. ;D  Look it up na lang para ma absorb mo rin ibang posts ko.  Hahaha!

About bumabawi sa Heat.  Hindi ka lang naman sa Heat tumitira.  Sa lahat naman yun banat mo.  Nothing wrong with that.  Basta ba you take as well as you dish out.  Pareho naman tayo.  Nangaalaska rin naman ako.  But I also know how to receive.  Kaso pag may hirit ako sa Lakers... nagagalit ka.  Eh dapat marunong din tumanggap.  Lakers naman yun tinitira ko.  Hindi ikaw. :D  Difference ko lang sayo... I don't like name calling.  I don't like minamaliit yun itsura ng iba.  Unless you're a George Clooney or a Brad Pitt yourself.  Hahaha!  I also call 'em as I see 'em.   :D 

I don't know why Lakers fans always use the Hater excuse.  I don't call people names.  I don't ridicule players because of their sexual preference.  I don't ridicule physical imperfections.  I don't wish injuries or ill-feeling towards teams or players.  I don't wish ill-will to any team or players.  Like I said I call 'em as I see 'em... ;D  I laugh at the Lakers though.  I did not wish for them to be this pathetic.  But articles such as their pitch to Melo is indeed ridiculous!

About Kupchak... did you read about their pitch to Melo?  It was ridiculous!  I don't hate Kobe or the Lakers.  I laugh at them!  Even Laker fans... how can you not take their Pitch to Carmelo Anthony anything but utterly ridiculous?   ;D  Their pitch was more for La La Anthony than Melo!  Eh di si La La na lang i-recruit nila!  Hahaha!  Isn't that laughable?  I'm starting to think nga Kupchak isn't clueless... he just might be Patrick or Khan... what was that you said before... stupid!  But that's just me.

You call out Heat fans.  You get called out.  What's the difference?   ;D  Tinira ko yun lakers kasi katawatawa naman yun Pitch nila kay Melo.  Ikaw tinira mo yun Heat kasi malaki panga ni Wade!  Hahaha!

I've always thought Lebron and Kyrie will team up.  Dreamed they will team up with the Lakers.  But I never saw this coming -- LBJ going back to Cleveland.  I think I still belong to the "old school" where loyalty is king.  But looking at the circumstances -- no DWade knees to back him up, Bosh still unsure at that time, no young players for Miami vs. a younger and athletic Cavs with #1 draft picks abound ( Kyrie, Wiggins ), I think it was no brainer decision for LBJ.  But then again, he belongs to the new "Google it up " generation.  I still belong to the long and winding road to success ( Beatles )  ;D  But LBJ is the best player in the world.  And I'm not .

That's a good pick up.  I recall yun problema ng Memphis during the playoffs were outside shooting and scoring in the clutch....which Cater both can provide.  Si Conley lagi go to guy nila.  I don't think he is built that way.

Akala ko NBA Championship nanaman sa thread na 'to, ang haba nanaman ng nadagdag na pages, all because of "The Decision 2" pala  :)

I became a Heat fan when LeBron joined the team, idagdag pa dun that their Coach (Spo) is considered to be Kababayan.

I hated the LAkers because of bwakaw Kobe, but when my other favorite player Steve Nash joined LAkers, I silently rooted for LAkers, you can review my old posts kung may nasabi akong masama sa LAkers, hindi ko nga magawa bumawi sa team na 'yun kahit most of the Miami Haters ay LAker fans.

As I've mentioned before, 3 or 4 seasons ago, I'm a player fan first, bago team fan.  ;)

Miami will always have a special place in my heart, I've fought many asaran at pustahan for them and I will never forget that feeling when the Heat got their back-to-back championships with the Big 3, ang sarap ng pakiramdam.

Now I have 3 Teams to root for in the NBA, LAkers (as long as Nash is there), Heat and the Cavs. Good thing hindi ako sumunod sa uso dati ng sunugan ng jersey ni LeBron  :D

Closest Ive seen you root for someone is kay  Larry Bird as celtics great. Thats it.

As for the Melo pitch, I did not see any specifics. Definitely did not see the Lala pitch youre referring to. What Ive read was about TWC executives being there as well as a certain producer and Tobey Maguire. The presentation was themed like the Matrix movie. But that is all I know. Kobe also mentioned in the presscon yung strengths ng Lakers org and wala naman talaga sila maooffer championship-wise as of now. How else do you entice stars to come? Eh di through other means of earning money. At least aware sila where they are at the moment. It is what is.

As for my knack for namecalling - it is what is as well. No way to change that unless I decide to change. Sa pang aasar, mas maganda para saken tirahan na ng todo. Haha 4 yrs din akong nagtiis sa yabang ng Heat fans e. Overconfidence with the 3peat and now look at them. Piece of trash after their king left them to hang dry. Sayo lang  ako nagrereply kasi at least pag humirit ka sa Lakers may sense. Kayang sagutin ng matino. That is not a sign na I cant take what I dish out.

Really? I think denied hating Lebron but I dont remember I denied disliking/despising the Heat team. I think Ive despised them ever since Shaq and Wade era kasi dun nagsimula magyabang marami kong friends na Heat fans.

90% yung fans ng Heat dahilan kung bakit ayaw ko sakanila. 10% na lang yung kay Wade and Bosh.

From a business standpoint yes, no one is happier than Dan Gilbert. But he had to swallow a lot of his own $h!t to pull this off. And this is more like redemption for him, like saying "See, I'm not a stupid NBA team owner after all"

But basketball wise, who would be happier than David Blatt, coming to the NBA expecting to coach a lottery team and probably losing more of his remaining hair while running out of Princeton ideas on how to turn this team around then booommm! He's now about to coach the best player in the world!

Meanwhile....the Lakers & the Bulls are finalizing a sign-and-trade deal for Pau  :D

That's the risk contending teams sometimes take during free-agency period, a high-risk, high-reward scenario.

I don't blame Morey - the ROCKETS need some more tools to join the elite and get that championship window ...... Bosh would have been a nice compliment to their current roster.

IMO that's all you can ask for, from your GM's - get the tools to make you an elite team and contend as long as possible.

For the Parsons case, they declined his last year option, to make him a RFA ..... instead of being a UFA after next season.

For a performing player like Parsons (coming out of a rookie contract), most NBA teams are always going to overpay on their next contract .... the ROCKETS just overpaid a year early, instead of the risk of losing him.

Though have to admit, 15M/year is superstar money - Parsons better improve a hell of a lot more to deserve that contract.  ;D

You can sense because there are none or less adverse reaction unlike before.

Karma for trading Lin and Asik?  I think it was the only way to clear space so it was necessary.  They rolled the dice and lost on bosh.  Lets see if they have a plan B.  For 2 seasons they came up with 2 brilliant FA acquisitions in harden and howard. And they were actually smart with parsons, spend now and have rights to the guy than spend later but risk losing the player.  Calculated naman so far yung moves nila.

The trade of Harden to Houston can't be judged on what OKC received I believe.  If you look at the big picture, it was really a choice between Harden or Ibaka.  OKC can only max 1 other player outside of KD & Westbrook.  They chose Ibaka.  I think going for the big man was more sound.  Although Harden is the bigger star.  We know the value of Ibaka after the Thunder went down to a 2-0 hole in the West finals.

But if you strictly want to grade the trade....yup talo nga yun OKC.

No, by terrible, I mean they could have kept harden til the end of the season man lang sana instead of trading him before the start of the season. It was a headscratcher move for me.


Edit: headscratcher at that time. We know how it turned out naman na pero at that time most people I know  felt like they could have tried to make it work for that season. But now, ok naman kinalabasan. They got Steven Adams and Jeremy Lamb plus it opened up an opportunity for Reggie Jackson. Sayang nga lang yung trade exception that OKC got for Martin going to the wolves kasi di nila nagamit before it expired.

OKC doesnt have an option way back then. They offered Harden less than 4.5M of max contract.
Harden was the one who turn down OKC.  It was just 4.5M less as OKC offered him 55.5M for four years.
Harden doesn't want to stay in OKC. Gusto nya na maging super star and starter instead of starting from the bench.

It turns out that Lebron's new deal with the CAVS is good for only 2-years ($42M) with an opt-out after the first year.

It's all for more money in the future, of course ...... but still, that free-agent option after the first year, will make for more nervous moments for Cleveland next year.

NEW YORK will have loads of cap space by 2015 ...... Phil Jackson's ideal scenario would be for the CAVS to have a difficult season, then convince Lebron to go to the KNICKS in 2015.  ;D

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11207703/lebron-james-deal-cleveland-cavaliers-2-years-421-million

It turns out that Lebron's new deal with the CAVS is good for only 2-years ($42M) with an opt-out after the first year.

It's all for more money in the future, of course ...... but still, that free-agent option after the first year, will make for more nervous moments for Cleveland next year.

NEW YORK will have loads of cap space by 2015 ...... Phil Jackson's ideal scenario would be for the CAVS to have a difficult season, then convince Lebron to go to the KNICKS in 2015.  ;D


Oo nga ano.  What is happening to the NBA?  It's beginning to be more like Wall Street than basketball.  :D  Lebron's deal for me parang contradicts his reason that he wants to go home already.  How can you win the title with their line up in the first year?  Well pressure is up for the cavs.  Lebron might just be a one year rental.

Pau Gasol to join Bulls

Free agent big man Pau Gasol has agreed to join the Chicago Bulls, and he will do so as a free agent rather than in a sign-and-trade, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. This means the deal will start at about $6.5 million per season, per to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski:

Gasol must really hate the Lakers now for turning down $10 million per.   ;D

No, by terrible, I mean they could have kept harden til the end of the season man lang sana instead of trading him before the start of the season. It was a headscratcher move for me.


Edit: headscratcher at that time. We know how it turned out naman na pero at that time most people I know  felt like they could have tried to make it work for that season. But now, ok naman kinalabasan. They got Steven Adams and Jeremy Lamb plus it opened up an opportunity for Reggie Jackson. Sayang nga lang yung trade exception that OKC got for Martin going to the wolves kasi di nila nagamit before it expired.

Baka nga nanalo pa sila ng Title if they kept Harden for that rental season after going to the finals.  I guess the mentality of the owners were... chances ot winning the title.... less than 100%.  If they kept Harden for that season, chances of him leaving.... 100%

Having a short 2-year deal (with an opt-out in 2015!), does contradict with his statement that the CAVS winning a championship will be a long process.

It's very likely that Lebron is sincere with the CAVS and is doing this to maximize his earnings in the near future ....... but still, if you're from Cleveland, it will be a nervous season.

What if's ..... what if Kyrie still doesn't play defense and cant hit a jumpshot, what if Blatt struggles during his 1st NBA season, etc.

Tiyak nag-aalay na nang itlog kay Sta. Clara itong si Phil Jackson na pumalpak ang CAVS this year.  ;D

From the sample of games I have seen Noah, he is not exactly a post player.  Though Gasol is.  Nasa high post palagi si Noah initiating the plays.  He was called a point center pa nga.  Yun madalas sa post were Boozer and Taj Gibson.  I think Noah would initiate the play from the high post, then maraming back cuts.  Or set gasol up from the post while he cuts to the basket.  Pwedeng give and go sila ni gasol for a lob pass and a dunk.

Yup so sad players now are really spoiled brats. Lebron the drama king. He needs all the attention in the world. If you want to go home, mag long term ka. Retire ka na Dian. Money for me is secondary especially on how much they make. Kaya talaga respect Ako Kay duncan, dirk and others who stay with their team no matter what. You have to trust and love the organization. Love the city and the fans.

Look at lebrons career, afaik when he left Cleveland, the cavaliers went to the championship and one of the top teams sa east. He is now leaving Miami now which he just won two championships and went to four straight finals. Go figure this one out. Actually to me Miami just needs couple of young role players like miller and battier to maybe win it all again. Diba nag comment pa si Lebron Kay Napier, pa happy happy pa siya. Ya Lebron style bulok ka pa rin sa akin.

Up to 2015 Lang kaya siya sa cleveland? Baka meron na plan and usapan with melo, new York here I come. Kaya Baka nag stay sa ny si melo?

Ouch. Di man lang S&T ginawa ni Pau. Baka ayaw din pumayag ng Bulls na bigyan ng picks yung Lakers kaya di na din nag S&T. I hope Pau succeeds with the Bulls. He was the most likeable player when he was with the Lakers. All class, very humble and professional.

As  for him coexisting with Noah, if they were able to make Bynum and Pau work, the more they can make two big men with high bb iq and great passing skills work. And I disagree na inconsistent shooter si Pau. He has a great touch from midrange and he even exhibited long range shooting during D'Antoni's time.

As for Lebron...baka nga opt out na agad next year para lang magawa nilang 5years na max deal after. Kasi 4yrs max lang naman din pwede maoffer ng Cavs. He would be really stupid if he left the Cavs AGAIN. So there is probably just .00001% chance that he would ditch them.

Dagdag mo pa to pag nangyari, aalis ka pa ba? Way better than his Miami team before if ever.

According to the press release that I read, the reason behind the 2 year deal was because of the new tv deal where potential earnings of players would increase dramatically.  But even if that's the reason....maraming butas pa rin yun ganun.

Why not just sign a 2 year deal tutal naman 2016 pa yun?  Why the need for an opt out clause after the first year?  Why not a 4 year contract to show long-term commitment with an opt out clause in 2 years.  The sole reason lang naman was the new tv deal in 2016.  Something fishy tuloy with his agenda.  Hahaha!

He may be pressuring management to get love, which is ok naman. Pero IMO there is no way cavs is better than the previous heat team Kung wala si love. With love sa cavs we won't even know if they will be better than the previous championship heat teams. Remember the previous all star teams of lakers? It's a major fail. Mas USO ngayon ang Spurs strategy to build a team.


 He should have trusted and gave Riley a chance. Ok pa for me the core 3 in Miami unless talaga sama na knee ni wade.

Exactly ...... like I said, though Lebron appears to be sincere, it's still going to be a very nervous season for both CAVS fans and management.

The CAVS might struggle early, Blatt might not adjust to the NBA right away, injuries, etc ....... plus the cap space that notable markets like the KNICKS will have in 2015 ....... it might present a formula for Lebron to make 2015 - The Decision 3.0  ;D

Ano kaya magiging reaction nang mga taga-Clevaland kapag nalaman nilang may opt-out clause si Lebron next season.  ;D

I think Lebron's decision is sincere also.  Might be a matter of I am sincere but I want to have my options open as well.  Still sincere din naman yun intention niya to join Miami then.  I believe akala rin niya dun na siya magreretire.  That's why his famous line went... Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7' titles.  So I'm thinking sincere din naman siya before of staying with the Heat long-term.  I would have gone with a 4 year deal showing real intention to stay.  Then an opt out clause after year 2 to show... let me see if I can gain additional income from the new tv deal.

We will just have to wait and see I guess.

OT:
I got a good laugh upon hearing the Bird story.  Incredible!  That's why Bird is still the game's best forward ever!

Quote
Collins told me a fantastic Bird story once. In Chicago, Bird was feeling ornery because the Bulls had screwed up his complimentary tickets. He noticed Collins on the sideline, complained about the tickets and asked him what the “house record” was. Then he vowed to break it. Uh-oh. Collins started the game by defending Bird with Ben Poquette, an awkward backup forward who happened to be white. Strike two — Bird always took it personally when someone defended him with a white guy. And as Collins tells the story, Bird derisively said to him something like “Ben Poquette? Are you f’ing kidding me?” and proceeded to score the game’s first five baskets. So much for Ben Poquette.

At halftime, Bird had 33 points before promising Collins to take it easy in the second half. He finished with 41, something Collins remembered 27 years later (along with every other detail of that story)

Just wanted to make sure, since you hardly post about your team here. :)  They were quite instrumental in paving the way for James to go back to Cleveland and creating greater parity in the East (well, at least until Da King joins the next superteam :D). Read a Boston.com article shared on FB which pointed out that, by helping Cleveland free up cap space to accommodate James, Ainge effectively punked Pat Riley and transformed the Heat from perennial favorites in the East into just a *regular* team. Baka natulungan din pa si Larry Bird and the Pacers.

Just read too that Paul Pierce has agreed to a 2-year deal with the Wizards. Sayang, gusto ko pa naman sana sa East ang WAS. :) But good pick-up for them after losing Ariza. At least medyo wide open na nga East ngayon at hindi na as predictable as in recent seasons.

Well there's really nothing to rave about  It's rebuilding time.  But I was really active when a Heat fan compared Lebron to Larry Bird and said Lebron was better and Bird was basically overrated because he had great teammates.   ;D  So of course I had to refute that.  I can't recall his handle because he has been inactive lately.  But he does stand out for me.  Heat fans on the board imo are not really mayabang.  But this one stood out.   :D  I would like to say sana mayabang or full of himself (Oops I did!  ;D).  Let's just say "very vocal".  That was like 3 pages of exchange?   ;D  He was the one who said the Heat play at "another level" when it comes to playoff time.   ;D

Baka natulungan din pa si Larry Bird and the Pacers.

Siguro secondary na lang yun natulungan yun Cavs and Pacers.  But I actually like that trade by itself.  We got Tyler Zeller a decent 5.  We haven't had a 5 since Perk was traded.  And I can't even remember the last time we had an athletic center at that.  Zeller does have some hops.  Di ko rin masabi na tulong na sa Cavs yun because with that trade, we lose the chance also of trading for Love as the Cavs get that chance.  So depends na lang which angle you are looking at.

Morey doesn't (cant) match the MAVS offer to Parsons ..... Parsons to play for the MAVS this upcoming season. All they got this summer was Trevor Ariza.

Morey's high-risk/high-reward gamble didn't payoff - shedding Asik & Lin salaries to get a chance at Bosh - who didn't commit to Morey.

Morey should blame Lebron ...... Lebron deciding to go back to the CAVS meant a chunk of max money & a leadership void for the HEAT - since Wade is often injured nowadays and is best a complimentary superstar, it was an easy decision for Bosh ....... he's getting max money & being da man in Miami.

I'm surprised Morey didn't match.  The reason for the Ariza signing which would have seem to come out of nowhere was to eat the freed up cap space before matching Parsons.  Bosh I surmise really had no plans to leave the Heat at any point in time.  He just used free agency to drive up his price.  And to add to the Lebron decision, it just occurred to me that he had already made up his mind to go back to Cleveland as early as June 22.  Lebron's wife never would have tweeted a pic of Akron Ohio if they were still undecided.  Teams should have taken that seriously.   :D

To be fair to Bosh, he was "da man" when he played for the RAPS years back ...... he has experience being the main man.

His numbers will inevitably go up this season, however it's the win column which is important.

With Lebron's departure, the HEAT will likely abandon that frantic pressure defense and settle down to Riley's tested slowdown half-court defense ..... still effective, but just ugly to watch.

I wouldn't put too much weight on Bosh's stint as the main guy with the Raptors. He was easily the most talented guy at that time and he was merely the de facto main guy due to the lack of talent on those Raptors teams. But even then, people have always pegged him to be a #2 guy who really needed a real deal main guy.

Anyway, mukhang decent pa din Heat with the addition of Deng. Playoffs pa din yan sa sisiw na East. Pero definitely wag umasa sa finals.

For Lakers fans, Randle finally signed and was able to play at last kanina sa summer league. Wasn't too impressed. Still saw the same stuff from the NCAA finals. He still hovers around the perimeter a lot and seemingly floating like a friendly ghost. Jordan Clarkson naman maganda pinakita although very turnover prone.

I think Parson is a better overall player, but Ariza fits in better with Rockets because they need to surround Harden w/ defensive minded types. He's also a lot cheaper.

^he was in a different situation when he was first signed in Houston. He was prematurely assigned w/ the task of being one of the main offensive options on an injury riddled Houston team. He was 2nd on FG attempts per game on that Rockets team (most attempts: Aaron Brooks.)

pwede ring contract year outlier lang performance ni Ariza last year. But with his skillset as a 3 and D guy (he led the league in corner 3's last yr.), his contract is a very reasonable gamble.

that is actually a good evaluation of Ariza. Mukhang one of those contract year guys. Gets paid, goes to cruise control.

nah-uh. Lamar is a point-forward. The only thing that reminds me of Lamar when watching Randle? They are both left-handed. Otherwise, ibang iba. Few plays kanina Randle looked lost sa pick and roll. He set up picks but forgot to roll. Although, understandable naman kasi matagal nang walang 5vs5 experience. Biglaan pa yung pag suit up nya since 20minutes before the game tsaka lang nasign yung contract nya. Hope he plays better tomorrow.

In terms of winning now, yep, nganga talaga. It's better this way, IMO. Kung nakuha natin si Melo, panakip butas lang yun. Hindi naman siya yung talent na mag-eelevate sa isang team para maging contender. I would rather have a chance to get Durant pa (pero suntok sa buwan rin kasi loyal yun).

Maganda din matutunan ng Lakers magrebuild via draft. Tiis tiis muna. Anjan naman si Swaggy P to entertain us.hahaha!

As for Gasol, may rumor na culture daw yung tiningnan din nya. Kaya daw di nya din pinili mag OKC. Haha not sure kung totoo. Pero Pau is a very classy guy so it might be possible. Tsaka nung under Phil sya, whipping boy siya sa mga hirit ni Phil sa media e. Baka sawa na siya

it might be a slight step back, but I think Ariza and Parsons cancel each other out with Ariza being a slightly better defender.  They lost a back up center in Asik, who i think quit on them mid season because he wanted more playing time, and they also lost a scoring guard in Lin, although was so inconsistent dealing his contract out was probably a better move.  So if they are able to get a stretch 4 or develop Jones in the off-season to have a more consistent jumper and then land a consistent back up guard then I think they will be right where they are last season or slightly better ( pang 2nd round ng playoffs maybe?) with some money to spend in 2015 to make them a legit title contender.  Pero marami pang moves na gagawin si Morey to make things better than last year.  Unless his goal this summer was to really unload the contracts of both Asik and Lin.

Watching Summer League now Lakers vs Warriors. Sobrang sayang di nakuha for Gilas itong si Jordan Clarkson. He would have been a huge boost. The kid is showing great potential for the Lakers team right now. He has that Westbrook attack mentality plus he can shoot that ball well (parang yung early season nya last year in college)

***

even made a tip in to win the game for the Lakers. Galing nitong Clarkson. Granted it is summer league pero the talent can be seen talaga. Hope he develops well. He will need to be really patient especially with playing time but I hope he gets his opportunity to strut his talent. Also, was pleasantly surprised by Randle's halfcourt handles. He made a few shake and bake moves and he really has great footwork in the post.

For us Lakers fans, yung rookies na lang natin ang kaabang abang panuorin. hehe

Kobe's 36-point explosion in Summer League. Check out how much ahead of the competition he was at that time. Fresh out of high school and he was destroying college kids.

Oops oops oops bro!  Hindi yun ang sinabi ko ha... ;D

Ok na sana but nandun si Kobe.   ;D  As good as Kobe is, there will always be a 6'6"/6'7" shooting guard with athletic ability who needs to shoot in volumes to score a bunch..... in a word, generic.

Magic a 6'9" point guard....never again siguro.  Jordan of course no question.  Lebron a power forward body who combines both speed and strentgh.... those players revolutionized the game.

Not insinuating that at all.  Hahahaha! Kobe is good but has not really revolutionized the game.  He is better than Carter of course.  If one thing...Kobe is the most durable player of all time still playing at a high level in his 17th season.  But years after he retires, I don't know if he will be remembered as somesone who has put his personal stamp on the game.  I don't know if he can shake the impression that he is a poor man's Jordan.  And in that list, Kobe is the one with only 1 MVP.

Syempre I will be judged a hater na naman just by your post alone.  I never said Kobe was an average guard.  Never said Kobe was comparable to Vince Carter.  I said he is better than Carter.  I said he hasn't really revolutionized the game.  Yun link mo.... I see Jordan there!  From the fadeaway to the penetration to the free throws.... Jordan na Jordan!   ;)

Well he scores a lot.  There is the question of efficiency and shot selection.  But scoring the amount of points that he has requires talent to put up those tons of attempts. Not every player can score that much.

Shaq is by no means ordinary or nothing special, its just that wilt beat him to the moment.  Actually, mas revolutionary pa kay his airness para sakin si magic kasi 6-9 PG. or maybe Pip as the first real point-forward. Well, at least thats how i understand his posts.

You got it bro.  Yun kay Shaq lang....agree ako dominance in the paint si Wilt na may trademark nyan.  But Shaq revolutionized the center position din.  Before Shaq wala pa yat center na combined both speed and strength.  Kahit siguro ngayon.  Wala ako maalala na Shaq-like player.  Ito ngayon yun ginagawa ni Lebron at his position na hindi pa natin nakikita before.

About Magic....wala na siguro tayo makikita na 6'9" PG.  I mean what are the chances we see another Magic Johnson compared to seeing another Kobe Bryant?  Doesn't mean talentless si Kobe.  Nobody can score 30,000 pts pag walang talent.

I dont think generic fits as a description for him. Siguro yung mga tipo ni CJ Miles, Kevin Martin, Alec Burks, etc yan ang mga generic. But that's just me.

What you are mentioning ang interpretation ko.... generic talent-wise.  Hindi yun ang dinedescribe ko.  For me generic meaning skillset-wise siguro yun closest I can think of.  Andrew Wiggins siguro may fall under that same category.  So meron din ganun skillset in this draft.  Magic... wala pa rin after ilang draft na.

You got it bro.  Yun kay Shaq lang....agree ako dominance in the paint si Wilt na may trademark nyan.  But Shaq revolutionized the center position din.  Before Shaq wala pa yat center na combined both speed and strength.  Kahit siguro ngayon.  Wala ako maalala na Shaq-like player.

Hindi ba ganun si David Robinson? Speed,quickness and power? Latter part ng career nya naabutan ko pero based sa highlights nya, parang yun yung combo ni Admiral e

Nope.  Finesse player si Admiral.  Tapos slim yun katawan.  Polar opposites sila ni Shaq. 

Edit:  To add pala nakalimutan ko... Si Shaq...combination of Strength and speed considering his behemoth size.

Si Hakeem the Dream for me is a bit more revolutionary than Shaq, moves like a guard, dribbles like a guard, shoots like a guard, but rebounds and defends like a 5, kasi para sakin Shaq and Wilt had similar body types, lalo na nung peak ni Wilt, he was also 300 lbs, makes me wonder how Bill Russel guarded him.  Pero yung low post footwork ni Shaq ang kakaiba, and better ball handling din sya than most 5's so medyo revolutionary parin.  Angat lang for me si Stilt and Dream.

just chiming in. so with the same logic, Michael Jordan is generic since he patterned his moves to Dr. J, right? pati si Clyde Drexler ganun din.

also, i wouldn't say Shaq revolutionized the C position because after him, there was no one else to play the same as him or like other great big men like Hakeem, Ewing, Kareem, etc. he was the last great big man. he's more like Magic where there was no one else like him again.

When you say revolutionize you change something and the next generation tries to follow your example. Dun kay Shaq wala nang ibang naging dominant center or at least what they call a classic center.

For me si Michael Jordan siguro got what Dr. J did and brought it up a notch. As for Shaq if we are to use your definition of revolutionize na you changed something.... he forced the NBA to change the design of the backboard support and stanchion design because he was bringing down the whole backboard.  Then I'm guessing yun Hack-A-Shaq led to a rule change that the opponents get 2 FTs plus ball possession if it's under 2 mins in the 4th.  I don't know if those count though

Iba kasi sakin yun revolutionize....meaning you either beat the predecessor by upping it up a notch.  Or introducing something new we haven't seen before.  That's why I also mentioned putting a stamp or an imprint on the game that is very much identified with a certain player.

Pero how about the NBA changing some Zone rules because of Shaq's dominance?

but the term "revolutionize" itself means to change something completely. Shaq ,Lebron, and Magic didn't revolutionize anything but instead were freak of natures and are one of a kind. on the other hand, though, i stand corrected. Jordan did revolutionize the game because his play was to effective that the landscape of the NBA literally changed and shifted focus from the big men to wing players.

Revolutionize means a radical or major change.....not necessarily completely.  A vast improvement can fall into that category.  An introduction of something new can also be considered.

it's not revolutionary though if no one follows what you've done. vis-a-vis Shaq, Lebron, Magic.

from the very definition of "revolutionary" in Oxford Dictionaries: Involving or causing a COMPLETE or dramatic change. an introduction of something new is PIONEERING not revolutionizing.

When I say something new I meant we havn't seen a 6'9" point guard before....but the point guard position isn't new.  Also it did say "... or dramatic change".  That is why I said completely isn't necessary.  It's all relative to one's perception.  Magic dramatically changed the general view of point guards then as small, quick, ball distributors and occasional scorers.  Several did try to follow Magic... Steve Smith and Penny Hardaway.  Magic and Bird did change the landscape of how the game was played.  That passing the ball and making your teammates better was the in thing.  Which is still being heard as a true testament of a great player.

still didn't have any dramatic change in the NBA. key phrase here being "dramatic change" like how Jordan affected the NBA. also, Steve Smith was a shooting guard not a point guard and Penny Hardaway did not have the same height or build as Magic. you could say they change their views, but hardly dramatic, about at what height PGs should be but a vast majority of point guards are still within the range of 6'-6'4". I mean, who are the good point guards today who are above 6'6"? i can't even name one in the list of points guards in the NBA last season.

Oscar Robertson was a great scorer and passer as well and made his teammates better and it was before the time of Magic and Bird. Them (Magic and Bird) passing the ball to make their teammates better did not revolutionize the game because players have been doing that even before Magic's and Bird's time. you could say Magic pioneered showtime fastbreak and yes great passing skills is a testament of a great player but you can hardly call that revolutionary.

Magic together with Bird did in the 80s.  Like I said making your teammates better was a foreign concept before they entered.  They brought the NBA to new heights.

also, Steve Smith was a shooting guard not a point guard and Penny Hardaway did not have the same height or build as Magic. you could say they change their views, but hardly dramatic, about at what height PGs should be but a vast majority of point guards are still within the range of 6'-6'4". I mean, who are the good point guards today who are above 6'6"? i can't even name one in the list of points guards in the NBA last season.

Both Smith and Hardaway played point early in their careers.  But both could not produce the same results and did discover that they could be more effective playing the 2.  But still it both tried moreso Hardaway.  That's why then you keep on hearing... the next Magic comparisons.

Oscar Robertson was a great scorer and passer as well and made his teammates better and it was before the time of Magic and Bird. Them (Magic and Bird) passing the ball to make their teammates better did not revolutionize the game because players have been doing that even before Magic's and Bird's time. you could say Magic pioneered showtime fastbreak and yes great passing skills is a testament of a great player but you can hardly call that revolutionary.

Magic was 6'9" and 220lbs.  Those were the numbers of most power forwards then.  The Big O was around 6'5".  Also hindi ba dito kay Oscar Robertson papasok yun concept mo of pioneering.  The Big O may have started it.  But Magic revolutionized the position.

Revolutionary = complete or dramatic change

was there a complete or dramatic change in the NBA in the point guard position because Magic? no.
was there a complete or dramatic change in the NBA because of Shaq? no.

Emphasis on the ... or dramatic change.

Was there a dramatic change in the general view of what was a typical point guard because of Magic?  Absolutely!

Was there a dramatic change in the general view of a center having a combination of power and strentgh and agility while being 7'1" and around 360lbs?  =  You betcha!

The top five point guards in NBA history
By Wade Souza, Associated Content Monday, Oct 25, 2010

1. Earvin "Magic" Johnson: Without question, no point guard in NBA history possessed the versatility, style, and grace of Lakers' Hall-of-Famer, Earvin "Magic" Johnson. At 6'8", the 12-time All-Star and 5-time NBA champion captivated the basketball world and revolutionized the point guard position forever. Johnson exuded an unrivaled passion for the game, fierce competitive nature, and effortless glow every single time he stepped on the floor. The Lakers' top overall pick in 1979 remarkably averaged double-digit assists for nine consecutive seasons, while recording an astonishing 138 regular season triple-doubles. Ultimately, Johnson deserves much of the credit for the evolution of the NBA point guard. "Magic" transcended the position, not only as a ball handler, but as a scorer, rebounder, defender, facilitator, leader, and highlight-reel regular. On playgrounds and courts to this day, aspiring point guards continue to imitate Johnson's free-flowing, improvisational style, but I am certain… there will never be another "Magic."

 The 10 best point guards of the past three decades

Posted by Dennis Velasco under NBA History on Jul 06, 2011

1. Magic Johnson, Los Angeles Lakers (1979-1991; 1995-96)
906 G; 19.5 PPG; 11.2 APG; 7.2 RPG; 0.4 3PTM; 52.0 FG%; 84.8 FT%; 1.9 SPG

Magic is at the top for a few reasons — statistics, championships, lifting the NBA up with Larry Bird into the mainstream again and revolutionizing the point guard position at 6-foot-9. Also, he made it cool to have one-word nicknames. What better name could there be for a wizard on the hardwood than Magic?

Interesting article about how the new NBA TV deal in 2016 is gonna affect the salary cap:
Quote
"In this scenario we see the cap rise from the $67 million range in 2015-16 to the $89 million range in 2016-17 with a player salary max at around $29 million. This basically means that every single NBA team should be able to fairly easily make a max contract offer to a Player in the 2016 offseason . Durant, Love, Lebron will be able to pick and choose wherever they want to go and there will be some horrendous contracts given out. Horrendous."

http://www.boxscoregeeks.com/articles/a-layman-s-guide-to-the-coming-nba-salary-cap-apocalypse

Another take:
Quote
The league projects the cap to jump from $63 million next season to about $68 million for 2015-16, and that may end up underselling the leap if the league rakes in another bonanza of revenue. At least a few teams have internal projections showing the cap rising by as much as 30 percent over the next two seasons, meaning that it might sit near $85 million going into the 2016-17 season.

This is what I mean when I say revolutionary. It changes things and those changes stick. With Magic, he changed how we view PGs but he did not necessarily revolutionise the position since small, quick PGs are still the prevailing characteristics of the position.

These sports writers have the tendency to be too liberal with the word "revolutionize" just to exaggerate how they feel about something and ends up trivializing the word. Also, what they write are merely their opinions and can be hardly considered as facts.

So I ask again:

Are big, tall point guards prevailing in the NBA now? No.
Are there big, fast, hulking, dominant centers right now? Not even one.
Has there been a dramatic change in the PG and C positions because of Magic and Shaq, respectively? No.
Are they revolutionary? Hardly.
Are they freaks of nature and dominant at their respective positions at the time when they were playing? Absolutely.

This is what I mean when I say revolutionary. It changes things and those changes stick. With Magic, he changed how we view PGs but he did not necessarily revolutionise the position since small, quick PGs are still the prevailing characteristics of the position.

These sports writers have the tendency to be too liberal with the word "revolutionize" just to exaggerate how they feel about something and ends up trivializing the word. Also, what they write are merely their opinions and can be hardly considered as facts.

So I ask again:

Are big, tall point guards prevailing in the NBA now? No.
Are there big, fast, hulking, dominant centers right now? Not even one.
Has there been a dramatic change in the PG and C positions because of Magic and Shaq, respectively? No.
Are they revolutionary? Hardly.
Are they freaks of nature and dominant at their respective positions at the time when they were playing? Absolutely.


dodie's post talks about baggy shorts, fashion and apparel.  But you said so yourself it is about skills?
yeah i don't think it counts since we're talking about players skills here not NBA rules with regards to revolutionizing the game.
Correct me if I am wrong but nowhere in the post does it connect with Michael Jordan's skills.

It can be with all sportswriters or majority of those do think Magic revolutionized the position, ikaw lang yun may view na mali yun term na revolutionary with regards to Magic Johnson.  How can probably 99% view the same thing?  Could those 99% just be wrong?  All of us naman are chiming in our opinions... sportswriters, me, you.  If that's the case, then no one speaks about facts.  What makes your own opinion be the one that is considered fact when probably 99% say otherwise?  Certainly those sportswriters do these for a living so they are either more knowledgeable than you or at least as knowledgeable.  They can't certainly be more clueless than yourself.

Well at least can you post a link where the sportswriters explicitly say.... MAGIC DID NOT REVOLUTIONIZE THE GAME AT THE POINT GUARD POSITION?  Because when you Google it, it's all over the net that he did.  Sobrang dami ng links na saying such.  Sa sobrang dami I can't possibly put it all in one post.  Mas maganda to broaden our perception if you can indeed provide that link.

It's so ridiculous though that a post I made over a year ago (no not 2 years ago :D), is not in question naman.  So I guess the GIST of the message I was trying to emphasize is not the point of contention.  Ergo... agreed siya.  What is being questioned is the usage, definition or the proper implementation of "Revolutionize".   ;D

BASKETBALL; Magic Johnson Ends His Career, Saying He Has AIDS Infection
By RICHARD W. STEVENSON,

Published: November 8, 1991

During his years as a versatile point guard in Los Angeles, he helped revolutionize the position with uncanny passes and length-of-the-court drives. He had an uncanny sense of when to shoot and when to give up the ball. His dazzling skills earned him the nickname that for most fans long ago replaced his given name, Earvin.

Magic Johnson Profile, Career Highs & Highlights

Pure talent. Maybe that's what better defines Johnson. His "magic" revolutionized the game of basketball. Behind-the-back passes, no-look passes, alley-oops from halfcourt, pivot moves, a smile for the history, were just parts of the endless arsenal of the tallest point guard in league history.

it is the utilization of the word "revolutionize" that i was trying to point out in dodie's post whether it's about a player's skill or his sense of basketball fashion because when you think about it, he did not revolutionize anything because nothing changed in the point guard position. I just made the quoted message because you guys were debating about player skills.

i'll indulge you though on links:

http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/magic-johnson-at.htm

in no way in those articles has pointed out that he's revolutionary. granted they didn't exactly say that Magic "didn't revolutionize the game at point guard position", they did not say that he did. and how can you say that 99% said that? have you gone through all sports articles that even remotely mentions Magic Johnson?

this is what i'm trying to point out regarding using the term "revolutionizing/revolutionized". even you used something to exaggerate the point you're trying to make. they're not wrong but they're wrong about using the term revolutionize when they ought to be using the phrase "pioneered the big PG position".

i'm not dissing on Magic because I do think that he's the best point guard the world has ever seen and he's a stand out guy but he did not revolutionize anything in terms of the point guard position. it is a fact if you strictly follow the definition of the word. everything else is just to emphasize how great a player he is. "pioneered" is still the best term to use.

this will be the last that i'm going to reply regarding the subject. replies are too long already and we're entering the zone of "i'll post my links, you post yours". let's just agree to disagree and just agree that he's one of the greatest ever to play the game. top 3 if you ask me. i don't want to end my day debating on things that doesn't even concern us ;)

I just made the quoted message because you guys were debating about player skills

But you're the one one who limited the discusiion on just skills.  So suddenly it's about fashion and apparel na rin.  Mas maganda sana pure skills lang  Hindi naman yata basketball skills ang fashion sense.   :D

i'll indulge you though on links:

in no way in those articles has pointed out that he's revolutionary. granted they didn't exactly say that Magic "didn't revolutionize the game at point guard position", they did not say that he did.

Then no need to click on them.  The link has to explicitly say .... Magic did not revolutionize the game.  Not mentioning anything doesn't count.  Because pwedeng he did... Pwede rin he did not.  Kaya dapat written talaga sa article.  Mas maganda yun links that really say that.  The links I provided naman say that.  So talagang no room for guessing, implying or whatever.  Nandun na. 

and how can you say that 99% said that? have you gone through all sports articles that even remotely mentions Magic Johnson?

Malalayo na naman tayo sa usapan.  Eto nga napakalayo na.  Hindi naman yun usage the "Revolutionize" yun pinopoint out ko.  Ok na itong isang "off topic" na  :)

this is what i'm trying to point out regarding using the term "revolutionizing/revolutionized". even you used something to exaggerate the point you're trying to make. they're not wrong but they're wrong about using the term revolutionize when they ought to be using the phrase "pioneered the big PG position".

Hindi pwedeng pioneered.  Kasi the Big O was the one who pioneered the big PG position.

i'm not dissing on Magic because I do think that he's the best point guard the world has ever seen and he's a stand out guy but he did not revolutionize anything in terms of the point guard position. it is a fact if you strictly follow the definition of the word. everything else is just to emphasize how great a player he is. "pioneered" is still the best term to use.

Yun definition naman is still dependent on one's perception.  From your definition.... OR DRASTIC CHANGE.  Pwede naman dun magfall sa category na yun.

this will be the last that i'm going to reply regarding the subject. replies are too long already and we're entering the zone of "i'll post my links, you post yours". let's just agree to disagree and just agree that he's one of the greatest ever to play the game. top 3 if you ask me. i don't want to end my day debating on things that doesn't even concern us ;)

Hahaha!  Well hindi naman ako nag initiate ng debate.   :D  Pero syempre I stand by my opinion.  Throughout all of these I never once said you were wrong.  I respect your opinion.  But you implied I was.  So I defended what I said.  And I have basis for what I said.  Sana nag agree to disagree ka na lang umpisa pa lang since ikaw naman yun nag reply sakin. :D

Also again this debate is in no way related to the gist of the message I was emphasizing.  Hindi naman proper use ng "revolutionize" yun gist ng original message ko more than a year ago.  Ang layo layo.  :D

They have Lin, Steve Nash, Kendall Marshall and Jordan Clarkson. Pwede na yun.haha

Ed Davis and Jordan Hill, Sacre at Center

Randle and Boozer, Ryan Kelly at PF

Ang manipis is SG and SF...unless all that face up offense by Randle in Summer League so far is to see if he can play SF? In any case, they will be undersized at the C spot.

$3.35 million yata winning bid nila. Pwede na yun for Boozer. 1 yr rental lang naman. Wala na nga lang tanking,i think,  kasi mukhang magkucompete pa din kahit papaano yung current line up.

PG - Lin / Nash / Marshall / Clarkson
SG - Bryant / Henry(?)
SF - Young / Kelly
PF - Boozer / Davis / Randle
C - Hill / Sacre

This is as odd a line-up as it gets for the Lakers. But it looks like a team that can run (hopefully not into the ground :)).

In other news, mukang umiinit na ang balitang paglipat ni Kevin Love to the Cavs, most likely at the expense of Wiggins. Very tough decision. But if it were entirely up to Lebron, this would have been a done deal.

No, I'll never forget SwaggyP. hehe

I intentionally omitted Kobe and Swaggy P kasi sila lang yung SG/SF na nakasign as of now. Kaya I said the Lakers is thin in the SG/SF spots. Baka pwede talaga si Randle if he can keep his handle tighter. He dribbles a little too high pa right now pero he definitely can shake and bake. He has a quick first step.

As for SwaggyP, I think he fits better as an off-guard rather than a wingman. Well, interchangeable naman sila ni Kobe. Jordan Clarkson naman pwede din mag SG kasi ganun yung skillset nya. Less of play-making si Clarkson.

In a highly competitive Western Conference, this can be called a ragtag team. Similar to the team they had last season. Another factor is they don't even have a coach or an established system in place yet. And it takes time to develop team chemistry and cohesiveness. I wonder how could they achieve that if most players in their roster are just on 1-year deals. No stability. Forecast? Grind it out season na naman for the Lakers. Hero ball/selfish basketball na naman ang nakikita ko. Rebuilding takes enormous amounts of shrewd decision making, persistence, patience and calculated risks.

Moving forward, Lakers must continue to scour and recruit talented young players that they can develop into a core. They need to rebuild their image as elite stars don't seem to be attracted by Hollywood anymore.

As a Lakers fan, I just look forward to the time when they are at their best again. Pana-panahon lang naman ang sports.

For now, I'll continue to root for the Spurs and OKC.

Bro, agree with you...But I am hoping it won't be a disappointing season...but alam mo naman ang Lakers baka magulat na lang tayo with a surprise acquisition or trade. Sad that we lost Pau to the Bulls...and even sad we lost Jodie Meeks as well...Mabagal si Kupchak... :(

With Boozer, parang medyo competitive na rin itong line up ng Lakers.  Still not a playoff team though.  But is it enough to at least beat the Jazz for the Western Conference's worst record?  But if Love is traded to the Cavs, alam mo na sino worst record sa West.... maybe even with Wiggins.

Low expectations lang tayo bro para hindi disappointing. Malabo to get a solid player this season as they have consumed their cap space and their team is not talented enough to attract established stars. They also obviously took two steps backwards when they offered Kobe that exorbitant contract. Eh the guy is tumatanda na rin and still recovering from a serious ACL injury. Doesn't make sense if you are aiming for a championship.

While it is sad that we lost both players to other teams, they were not part of the Lakers future anymore. Si Kobe na lang yung last of the dinosaurs after Nash's contract ends. Randle and hopefully Clarkson will be our building blocks. Management just needs to be patient and so should fans like us. If we continue to suck, malay natin we might land Thon Maker in the future. haha

Boozer can contribute. Di lang siya trip ni Thibs kasi hindi defensive man pero I think Boozer is still very serviceable. Baka pwede pa ito magcompete like the 2006 and 2012 teams pero walang mararating. 35 to 40 wins tancha ko.

If Randle develops into a good player, di ko na makita yung point ng pagkuha pa kay Love. Iba na lang.

Anyway, most likely final lineup ng Lakers after they got X and Wes:


PG: Jeremy Lin, Jordan Clarkson, Steve Nash 
SG: Kobe, Swaggy P 
SF: Xavier Henry, Wes Johnson 
PF: Carlos Boozer, Julius Randle 
C: Jordan Hill, Ed Davis, Robert Sacre

Not yet,...

Byron Scott would probably be their best option.  It's going to be hard to attract a marquee coach with their current line up.  What they need is a temporary coach good for 2 years, cheap and expendable.

I agree with your projected line up. Questions:

1. Do you think they'll still sign Kelly?
2. Do you think the Lakers will use the 2.7M room exception?
Personally, I'd like the Lakers to sign Kelly. He is a nice bench player who can stretch the defense because of his outside shooting. He has sound basketball fundamentals. I really hope the Lakers still gets him back on board.

Pero if they do that, they will have 1 vacant slot. I'd like to keep it open but if they use their exception, Marion seems like a decent guy to get. I watched him last season coz I had him on my fantasy teams and the guy still gives his best effort both on offense and especially on defense.

LBJ joining the CAVS again won't guarantee them the a finals appearance unless they can land a big man to play along side Verajao.
I think they should use Wiggins and Bennett to trade for Kevin Love.

Wow tapos na LBJ discussions. :)

Anyway am glad I don't have to defend the guy anymore whoohoo.

BOOZER SUCKS by the way.

Then after one day...

the Lakers getting Boozer is a sign that the Lakers has hit rock bottom.

We need Super Kobe as in...

Ouch!  Don't you hate it when something you say comes back and bites you in the butt?   ;D

I think they will do pretty good. Its just their first year together with howard last year. Sayang talaga si parsons pero ok na din si ariza. They will be better this year imo because asik was just causing unhappiness with the team because he wants playing time. I like lin as a person. Sayang parang family na sila. For me important yun bonding nila. The players welcome howard with open arms ( except for asik, kaya im glad they got rid of him) so that is a big plus.

As for mchale, i will give him naman a chance. As far as i remember, rockets played the spurs really good sa regular season. Na sayang lang yun portland series. Sometimes in the nba its all about matchups.

Rappler posted this clip of the event organizer (East West) explaining that they (including PLDT) never advertised this as a game:

http://youtu.be/ojMr9PoPDm0 (http://youtu.be/ojMr9PoPDm0)

Decepticon ba 'to?! If they never intended to have the fans think that there was going to be a full game, it should have been very clear in their ads - like in bold, all caps text: "THIS IS NOT AN EXHIBITION GAME". Di yata mahirap gawin 'yun. With how they were harping about this event since it was announced, no question that they wanted the fans to believe that it was going to be a full game like the one they had here during the lockout. Kawawa rin 'yung Gilas players. Sayang ang opportunity.

It's good that PLDT (through MVP) eventually issued a formal apology for this mess. But yeah, someone really has to be held accountable for this. I can see a lawsuit brewing. Laki ng lugi ng PLDT dito. Yahoo (through Adrian Wojnarowski) mentioned that each player was paid an average of USD150K for their trip here, plus other expenses. And that's just the players' "talent fees".

I also recall that NBA players could join exhibition games during the offseason. Zo's Summer Groove is one example (don't know if they still hold this though). This doesn't seem like it's an official NBA event and it's for charity. Maybe the new CBA clamped down on this.

Baka nga because of the CBA, bawal by default unless the NBA approves. If so, another sign that this was poorly handled is the alleged last-minute advice obtained by the organizers from the NBA that the event cannot push through without penalizing the players. Plantsado na dapat 'yan by Day 1. I assume the organizers prioritized this, so it's still confusing to me why it ended up with a last-minute scrapping of the event.

You are most probably right.

I think the Charity twist was just thought of by the spin doctors to soften the blow to the public.  I'm pretty certain that if the organizers told the NBA that this was for the benefit of Yolanda and Glenda victims on day one, the NBA wouldnt sanction the players.  The theme would be very much in tune with the NBA cares activity so free advertising pa sila.

Kahit na the organizers exercised due diligence and submitted all the requirements, common sense still dictates NBA approval.  Submit a summary that all requirements have been met.... but still require a written approval from the NBA.  Tingin ko lahat were done under assumptions.  They think they met all the requirements so tingin nila ok na siguro even if they didn't seek approval.

Based on the article, the events organizer claims that the event was packaged as a basketball clinic ...... while eveyone else here in the country (including Chot Reyes & the endless plugs during PBA games) expected a full game.

Then as the scandal unfolded, PLDT claims that that they never advertised an actual game happening - then they did a full about-face the next day on their open letter, claiming that there was a full game agreement with the events organizer.

Somebody is obviously lying ...... from PLDT.

I fully agree, that some more compensation should be given aside from the refund.


OT: Tuso talaga itong PLDT ..... they claim that a full game was never specifcially advertised, offered a refund, pero pathetically paulit-ulit (even using GILAS players) na sinasabi na "for charity" ito - umaasa na baka merong hindi na magpa-refund.

NBA warns Blake Griffin, James Harden, more not to play in Philippines
by Bryan Rose 4h ago Follow @NotoriousEZE


The league has shown a bit of leniency in the past and has occasionally turned a blind eye to offseason tournaments if the proceeds were going to a good cause, however it’s believed that Manila will keep all of the profits from the game which the league is understandably upset over.

Yahoo Sports reports some players were set to make over $150,000 dollars for an appearance.


Looks like the NBA doesn't believe the event was really for charity but a business venture.

Imagine Allen Iverson, Shaq, Yao Ming, Rasheed Wallace, Marbury, etc at si Michael Jordan! Tignan natin kung hindi umapaw yan sa dami ng taong manuod! Dapat gawin sa Philippine Arena.

btw, sharing info I got from PLDT's side:

Around 5pm na daw officially pinaalam ng NBA na di pwede yung "game" (still mali ng organizers!). Yung NBA players daw were okay getting fined by the NBA but when they were threatened with suspensions, dun na daw umatras yung players.

Sobrang pahiya executives ng PLDT halos mangiyak-ngiyak sa hiya. Pero sabi babawi daw (knee jerk reaction lang siguro to and most likely magbabago pa) by getting NBA players (again. lol!) and letting them actually play. Free entrance daw for those with PLDT and Smart subscriptions. I don't know when or how they are going to pull a rabbit out of a hat pero hopefully they pull this off to redeem themselves from this issue.

Official statement from the NBA:

“Under the terms of the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, players are allowed to participate in offseason basketball games or exhibitions when requirements for those events are met, including ensuring that appropriate safeguards be in place, and the promoter seeks the proper exemptions from the NBA and the player’s team. The promoter of this proposed event, East-West Private LLC, was informed of this process several months ago but did not take the required steps. Filipinos are among the most passionate basketball fans in the world and we are committed to bringing them more access to our game and supporting the ongoing Typhoon Haiyan rehabilitation efforts.”

NBA issues statement on ‘Last HOME Stand’ event, says promoter failed to meet requirements
http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/nba-issues-statement-on-last-home-stand-event-says-promoter-failed-to-meet-requirements

The NBA released a statement on Wednesday regarding it’s involvement in the cancellation of the expected five-on-five game between a number of their players and the Philippine national men’s basketball team in the PLDT Home charity event ‘Last Home Stand’ on Tuesday night.

The league said that the promoter of the charity event, East-West Private LLC, did not take the necessary steps for the players to be allowed to fully participate in a basketball game.

“Under the terms of the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, players are allowed to participate in offseason basketball games or exhibitions when requirements for those events are met, including ensuring that appropriate safeguards be in place, and the promoter seeks the proper exemptions from the NBA and the player’s team,” the NBA said in the statement.

“The promoter of this proposed event, East-West Private LLC, was informed of this process several months ago but did not take the required steps.”

The NBA added, though, that they continued to recognize the Philippines as an important part of their fanbase.

“Filipinos are among the most passionate basketball fans in the world and we are committed to bringing them more access to our game and supporting the ongoing Typhoon Haiyan rehabilitation efforts.”

In a press conference last night, Maria Espaldon of East-West said that the group believed they did not need league approval from the league because it was a charity event.

“For a charity event in the NBA, there are sanctioned and unsanctioned events. For example, there are games where players play for the love of the game and they do it for charity,” Espaldon said.

“When we proposed this to the organization, PLDT, we said it should be a for-charity event and it did not need to be sanctioned. That was our belief. That’s generally what happens in the US. There are games everywhere that they play, some are sanctioned and some are not.”

THE third-party agency that helped PLDT arrange the scrapped 'Last Home Stand' event featuring Gilas Pilipinas and a team of NBA stars admitted that a request for a sanction was turned down by the US league. East West CEO Maria Espaldon, A US-based Filipina events organizer, admitted that as early as April, the NBA has already turned down their request for a sanction of the two-game event in Manila.

But to be fair, coach John Lucas and the NBA stars never mentioned about a game, instead just said that they were happy and excited to be here, helping out team Gilas. They never mentioned about a game.

Hmmm, naloko pati eat bulaga.

Parsons was overpriced, but still a good offseason for the MAVS.

If Chandler can have a resurgent season & Parsons live up to even half of his annual salary, I can see these MAVS reaching the 2nd round of the playoffs.

While the probable hiring of Byron Scott is forthcoming, it's another one of those headscratching moves of Mitch.  Scott is known for teaching defense and is known for the Princeton style of offense. Both of which are certainly not what the current roster is suited for. So delay the hiring of a coach so that you can select someone suited for this line up.  Then hire a coach whose style is the complete opposite!   ;D

I guess this was another business move only by Mitch. Draw the fans with sentimentality and just try to win as many games as possible.

At least they finally got a coach.

Lakers will probably get around 35 to 40 wins. Enough to lose their pick next year to the Suns.

To be fair to Potatohead, he did not have Dwight in training camp and he was axed very early in the season before his players were able to fully grasp his system. Maybe Scott will do a better job with this team with the help of training camp.

baka standard lang talaga nila 4 year deals? haha look at Potatohead's and Pringles' contracts. 4 year-deals din yata pareho, IIRC.

Anyway, I loved seeing the support Scott got kanina from his former teammates. Magic, Kareem and Wilkes were present during the presscon for B. Scott. Magic had expressed his dislike for the Mike D'antoni hiring before so seeing his pal getting the head coaching job for the P&G is definitely a positive sign for him. Dito mo makikita kung gano kaganda yung organization because former players still gravitate towards the purple and gold kahit na their playing days have long been over.

Sila Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Cooper, Scott, Rambis, Rick Fox and Horry are still hardcore Lakers guys. Jerry West din pala.

Old school Celtics ganun din. Hardcore. Can't say the same for many of the other franchises though. Maybe sa Rockets since Olajuwon and Clyde are still hardcore Rockets guys as well as sa Spurs na merong Admiral but there's not a lot of former players na very loyal to their former teams.

baka standard lang talaga nila 4 year deals? haha look at Potatohead's and Pringles' contracts. 4 year-deals din yata pareho, IIRC.

Anyway, I loved seeing the support Scott got kanina from his former teammates. Magic, Kareem and Wilkes were present during the presscon for B. Scott. Magic had expressed his dislike for the Mike D'antoni hiring before so seeing his pal getting the head coaching job for the P&G is definitely a positive sign for him.

Pwede rin na nasa isip nila ay good choice yung dalawang yun pero mali hahaha.

Philjax back in Chicago, I believe, only had a one year contract in the last two seasons with the organisation.

Like the others said, may stamp of approval ni Kobe si Scott. He mentioned it a few times already in interviews na cool lang siya with Scott as head coach.

When Scott was 35, Kobe was an 18-year old rookie. Sabi ni Scott, he remembers asking Kobe what he wants to achieve and Kobe told him that he wanted to be the best basketball player. Grabe, tagal na nun noh. hehe

His comments were not dependent on Phil being a candidate.  His approval was based on what he experienced with Team USA.  He wouldn't suddenly take all of those back even if Phil was on the table as well.

In fact to quote what Kobe said...
Quote
They knew my two guys that I liked. If one didn't work out obviously with Phil, they knew that they had my approval to pull the trigger on the other one.

So regardless of Phil, he still approved of MDA.

Yep. Which meant na instantly sira yung mga ligaments ni Livingston. Hopefully, bone and muscle damage lang yung kay PG. Grabe talaga freak accidents na ganyan.

Yup yun lang ang ok sa injury ni PG as long as walang ligaments na nabali. As long as the bone heals properly he'll be able to go back to form. Pag acl/mcl kasi hindi 100% nagheheal.

Hindi career-ending yung injury nya. Kevin Ware was cleared to play within a year yata after his injury. Tingin ko mas lala kay Ware as seen sa Xray kasi lumabas yung buto nya.

Eye-test, mukhang career ending coz of how gruesome it looked but it isnt as bad as knee injuries. I bet players like Tmac, Grant Hill and Brandon Roy would rather fracture their leg than suffer injuries to their knees.

for me lumabas man buto nya o hindi, just the same thing . bones regenerate and it will be back to normal, he just need to build his muscles back. kung di man sya makapaglaro with the same intensity, it will all be psychological.
i had the same kind of injury 2 yrs ago, had a complete fracture of my humerus-left arm. my ortho-surgeon placed a metal internally to connect them(to have a proper healing) then im now back to normal. it is weaker because im not athletic nor do i go to gym, which i should do.

Ako naman fracture hand. 1 month naka cast and sobrang weak ng kamay ko after coz of muscle atrophy. Medjo malakas na ngayon pero andun pa din sa isip ko na todo alalay.

As usual Larry Bird is old-school - toughed it out and didn't blame the logistics, saying that injuries can happen anytime, anywhere.

Did a bit of reading - the NBA has a minimum required distance of 4' between baseline and the stanchion.

The UNLV court where PG24 got injured, was an inch short at 3'11" ...... that 1-inch difference might not have been enough to save PG24 from the injury.

Everyone is hoping that George makes a full recovery, the soonest.

pero mas masarap subabayan ang LAKERS ... LAKERS vs CHI, LAKERS vs HOU, Lakers vs NYK.

maging healthy lang LAL roster entire 2014-2015 season then sureball yan makikipag banatan sa 8seeds :)

I'm all for the Cavs trading Wiggins for K.Love, they can't wait for Wiggins to develop into a superstar esp LBJ's contract is only for 2 years (player option pa yung 2nd). They will be dominant as early as this year with Love.

How long will it take LBJ to give Cleveland an NBA title?
I think LBJ's decision goin home and play for Cleveland again means a lot of pressure on his shoulders though many including me will definitely cheer for him and hope he can achieve that goal.
The Cavs must try to move heaven and earth to add support for the KING.

^^ Both Blatche and Douthit are training with Gilas Pilipinas in Miami. There's a separate thread here on Gilas Pilipinas with updates (under Hobbies/Interests).

IMO Blatche seems like a great fit based on the scrimmage clips being shared on youtube. He'll probably get the sole naturalized player slot for Gilas in the FIBA World Cup. But I think his Gilas stint for the Asian Games in late September is the one that's in doubt because of some residency requirement.

Just thinking...baka mas ok pa if magrebuild na lang yung Indiana while hinihintay si Paul George? I'm sure madaming picks makukuha for Hibbert and David West. Houston has lots of picks na available to trade and they could use David West.

Utah, Orlando, Malwaukee - madami din picks incoming baka gusto nila si Hibbert.

Develop na lang muna ng Pacers mga younger guys. Solomon Hill will get playing time. Tank sila for next year and try to get Jahlil Okafor tapos if makakuha pa ng ibang picks for next year, ok na din. The draft next year isn't as talented as this year is pero there are still good players who can be molded into good NBA players.

I just don't think it is worth going through the motions with a team that only features David West and a 7ft center who will sometimes give you 0pt/0rebound output.

That is an option. But with Larry Bird in charge, tanking is unacceptable for him even with the current line up and knowing how weak the east is.  It's the same thinking as Pat Riley with the Heat.

RE:Wiggins

Looks like a good kid. Di tulad ni Lebron nung same age eh ubod ng yabang (or ni Kobe). Si Wiggins, di ko makitaan ng yabang e. Nung iniinterview siya, medjo may halong lungkot nung sinabi nyang gusto nya lang maglaro para sa team that wants him.

Wag sana masira yung potential nya sa Minnesota kasi most of the top picks that went there have failed careers. Rubio/Love/Garnett lang naalala kong nagblossom and even mentioning Rubio is a little bit of a stretch kasi he hasn't really improved that much.

Players who had great potential like Derrick Williams, Wesley Johnson, Jonny Flynn, Rashad McCants, Randy Foye and Correy Brewer failed to develop when they were with Minny. Wag sana matulad sa kanila sila Zach and Wiggins. Si Bennett na din.

Forward-center Greg Monroe has informed the Detroit Pistons' he will accept the qualifying offer, play for Detroit in 2014-15 and become an unrestricted free agent next summer, two people familiar with Monroe's plan told USA TODAY Sports.

Monroe's qualifying offer is for $5.479 million in 2014-15 and cannot be traded without his consent once he signs. He's expected to sign it before the Oct. 1 deadline.

The No. 7 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Monroe took an uncommon route, forsaking money and a long-term deal now for a money and long-term deal a year from now.

As long as may roster spot pa pwedeng pwede nila kunin si Allen. Theoretically, pwede ngang buong salary ng team sa isang player lang tapos lahat ng ibang contracts puro vet minimum.hehe

Pero kelangan nila big man. Ang liit nila sa front court.

Yes kaya pa yan sa vet minimum.  I don't know the cap situation of Cleveland, but pwede rin the part of the MLE or the BAE. Or pwede rin sign and trade.

Greg Monroe is back with the Pistons.

Kunin ni Lebron si Nazr para di na siya itulak pa ulit. Si Udoh ok yan as a rim defender. Kasi wala talaga silang inside defense. Butas yan kung si Floppyjao lang aasahan nila.

^Nellie was playing mind games w/ Beans and it destroyed his confidence. Hindi alam ni Nellie may injury pala si Biedrins nung nung nilalait-lait nya sa media nung unang nagka-slump sya.

He was good for a couple of years, pero medyo inflated din ang stats nya bcoz of Nellie-Ball.

Naalala ko kinumpara pa ni Charley Rosen si Biedrins kay Bill Russell bcoz of how well he played in the Warriors-Mavs upset of 2007.  ;D

Quote from: Rosen
Andris Biedrins also gets to wear a hero's wreath, for giving a convincing — albeit brief — impersonation of Bill Russell. Biedrins' early shot-blocking, rebounding and dunking helped get the Warriors up, up and away.

it's easy for him to say he wanted to be traded but we all know this was Lebron's and Love's plan and Wiggins just happened to be the piece they needed to make things happen so wala talaga siyang say. But if it's true na gusto nya talaga matrade, then good. Would love to see him and Lavine doing spectacular plays.

Yup Wiggins said so himself to his Kansas coach.  It was written in several articles. Once the trade rumors started, his coach got concerned as it might have affected Wiggins.  But surprisingly, he countered he was looking forward to it.  Wiggins thought it would be best for his career if he was the main focus of the team.

Sour grapes from the Wolves owner, but also some valid points lol:
Quote
"I think where maybe he got away with some stuff not playing defense on our team, I'm not sure that's how it's going to work in Cleveland," Taylor said on ESPN Radio 1500 AM in the Twin Cities on Tuesday. "I would guess they're going to ask him to play more defense, and he's foul-prone.

I question Kevin if this is going to be the best deal for him, because I think he's going to be the third player on the team," Taylor added. "I don't think he's going to get a lot of credit if they do really well. I think he'll get blame if they don't do well. He's around a couple guys that are awful good."

Taylor also questioned the durability of Love, who has twice suffered a broken hand, which caused him to miss most of the 2012-13 season.

"The only thing I still have a question mark about is health," Taylor said. "I had that concern then [when they negotiated his previous contract], and I still have that concern. I think Cleveland should have that concern, too."

"Rivers' new deal will pay him in excess of $10 million annually, according to multiple sources."

That salary is for both being the organjzation's president and coach.  Yun kay PJ yata coach lang. Stan Van Gundy of the Pistons also has the same role/s. And he is being paid $7 million annually. So tama lang siguro yun kay Rivers since he won a title.

But I guess if di lang coach yung trabaho nya, pwedeng justified. Pero if full time coach lang, overpaid.

Very nice stats.  It can be an indication that Love does get away with not playing defense.

On the list, I'm impressed with DeAndre Jordan and Serge Ibaka.  They will swat at every opportunity they get, but they're able to keep their fouls relatively low.  Up in the air kasi sila humabol nang bola, after ball release na.

I think it's a major PR stunt as well. The way doc was very supportive in the ouster of former owner. The last thing the Clippers need right now is a distraction on contract negotiations on their coach/GM. And the salary for a coach is not included in the Salary cap naman diba?

Overspending on players, coaches, etc is a natural occurence when new ownership comes in, for most NBA teams ....... Ballmer just won himself a high-profile team - he's on a high, swerte at nasama si Rivers during this happy time.

I'd have to agree that Doc Rivers' new contract is on the bloated side ....... but that's the norm in the NBA nowadays.

If noobish coaches like Fisher, Kerr & Kidd can get substantial contracts, those with extensive resumes will demand premium as well, moreso if you have dual roles within the team e.g. Rivers, SVG, Flip, etc.

Andray Blatche has signed a one-year deal with the Xianjing Flying Tigers (joining Jordan Crawford). Sayang - I was hoping to see him play in the NBA. He will be eligible to sign with an NBA team next March, if ever.

Why does it look like Indiana is on a full scale rebuild mode?  I get that PG24 is our for a season but I also think Hibbert just needs to find his mojo again, laking sayang naman kung bibitawan nila eh ang hirap na makahanap ng legit big man ngayon.  Anyone can find a way to play small ball but to have a legit bigman is definitely an asset.

Every decent, serviceable big will be overpaid at one time or another, during his NBA career.

Compared to many who have been overpaid before him, I'd say that Faried's contract isn't too much  ........ besides, Faried definitely stands-out due to his attitude and work ethic.

$12M/year for someone everyone expects to breakout within the next few years should be a "decent" contract in today's NBA.

Yeah!  I do think it's a decent starter salary for Faried.  I think he has more or less the same stats as Al Horford at $12M but with more durability.  He likewise contributes the same as David West who is also at $12M. 

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Larry Sanders gets $11M, Nikola Pekovic at $12M, Eric Gordon at $15M, Omer Asik at $15M, Andrea Bargnani at $12M, Gordon Hayward $14M and Derrick Favors $13M.

But Faried has none of the big men characteristics that teams usually overpay for -- rim protection, floor spacing and size.

Shaw didn't even trust him that much in the first half of last season. He only got major playing time when the Nuggets were slowly slipping out of contention.

I'm assuming that the contract is an indication that the management assumes that the new NBA media deal is gonna massively inflate the salary cap in the upcoming years.

Horford and West are among the best defenders and floor spacers in their position. Faried isn't on their level, well not yet.

16-24 ft. shooting% (2013-14)
West .520%
Horford .496%
Faried .245%

Other bigs you mentioned.
Larry Sanders - rim protector w/ a huge wingspan. Had one of the worst seasons by someone who just signed a new contract but still highly coveted.
Nikola Pekovic - Not a floor spacer or rim protector. Contract may be difficult to move if the Wolves decide to invest on Dieng
Omer Asik - Rim protector. Backloaded but good contract
Andrea Bargnani - back end of a bad contract.
Derrick Favors - too early to tell. Overpaid for his size and potential. But unlike Faried, he's not a 6'6 PF.

Post by: rusty on Oct 07, 2014 at 02:53 AM
Kenneth Faried’s contract extension, as reported, would violate CBA

Quote
Kenneth Faried didn’t sign a five-year, $60 million contract extension.

He couldn’t have.

Despite Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports reporting the contrary, extensions to rookie-scale contracts – with one exception – can be for just four seasons. The exception is when a team makes someone its designated player by giving him a five-year extension to a rookie-scale deal, but designated players must receive a max salary and 7.5 percent annual raises.

For Faried to be the Nuggets’ designated player, based on the NBA’s projected 2015-16 salary cap, his five-year extension would be worth about $89 million – far more than the reported $60 million.

So, something is getting lost in translation here.

Here are three possibilities for the actual terms:

Five-year, $89 million extension

Maybe Wojnarowski has the number of years correct and the dollar amount wrong.

Faried will make $2,249,768 this season, the final year of his rookie deal. His extension would begin in 2015-16, a season with a yet-to-be-determined cap.

Any max contract extension does not have a known salary until the July before that season begins. Perhaps, $60 million was just a really poor estimate of a five-year max contract contract that begins in 2015-16.

Four-year, $60 million

Maybe Wojnarowski has the dollar amount correct and the number of years wrong.

Again, simple enough, just one incorrect figure.

A four-year extension is the longest legal extension under the max – and $60 million should fall under the four-year max, which projects to be $68,985,747.

Four-year, $57,750,232 extension

Maybe Wojnarowski was referring to the total value of Faried’s contract – one season on the rookie deal, four seasons on the extension.

If that’s the case, Faried’s extension would be $57,750,232 over four years ($60 million minus his 2014-15 salary of $2,249,768 ).

That means his average annual salary during the extension would be $14,437,558 – a healthy bump over the $12 million per year it seemed Denver would be paying him.

This is my best guess for the mix up, but it’s just a guess.

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/06/kenneth-farieds-contract-extension-as-reported-would-violate-cba/

So it's potentially up to 14.4M/yr? That's a heck of a contract   :o

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced Sunday that Kevin Durant has suffered what is called a Jones fracture in his right foot. The injury requires surgery and the reigning MVP forward will miss 6-8 weeks of time with the injury.

We will now find out if Westbrook can carry the team as some claimed.

Too many injuries in the NBA nowadays, I think the respective teams and coaches should start pacing their stars and not let them play all 82 games in the regular season.
They should follow what the Spurs are doin to their old veterans to keep them fresh and out of injuries for the playoffs. Another advantage of resting the stars in the regular season provides opportunities developing their bench.
Title: Re: NBA 2014-2015 Season (Free Agency:July 1)

Pero sila Jordan di naman yata nagreklamo about the 82-game season ah? Malas lang talaga players ngayon siguro. Freak injuries lang mostly siguro. Aside from 7ft players like Oden and Bynum na marurupok mukhang di naman siguro pwede i-attribute sa 82 games yung injuries.

Although...logically, pwede nga naman bumaba probability of injuries with lesser games kasi nga mababawasan chances of getting injured. And less wear and tear.

Indeed. Though IMO, the way their season ends largely depends on the kind of Tyson Chandler that shows up.

If Chandler comes in at great condition and relatively stays healthy, they'll make noise in the playoffs - home-court advantage or otherwise.

I'm not confident with their front court. Varejao and Love. No shot-blocking, lots of flopping. I think I can even score on that front court.

I too am not sold on the Cavs just yet.  Interior defense is a problem.  There's no post scoring so they depend on transition and outside shooting.  Two of the big three have not even tasted the playoffs yet.  So it's still unsure if they can handle the pressure.  Then bench depth has yet to be proven.

Tapos compared sa Heat big 3 before, the other 2 guys Lebron played with had playoffs experience (and Wade was a champ). Kyrie and Love? These two will finally find out how much pressure it is to play in the playoffs.

As a longtime celtics fan, I'd rather watch a tanking lakers team with Bryant, than a Celtics team without Paul Pierce in the team.
I actually envy teams that really stick to their loyal starplayers like lakers-kobe, dallas-nowitzki, san antonio-dunkan parker ginobilli and heat-wade.
What the celtics did to Paul Pierce is unforgivable to me. Parehas naman nagkakalat celtics and lakers. Pero ang lakers still has kobe and is still wonderfull to watch than the celts bunch of young scrub players.

Post by: DVD_Freak on Oct 23, 2014 at 11:02 AM
Both of us are Celtics fans.  But I support the move Ainge did.  Rebuilding is really necessary. I think it would be a waste of time holding on to Pierce and KG at their current rate.  You would just be extending the suffering.  And time that should have been used in starting the process.  Also it was some sort of a mutual decision as well.  Pierce still wants to go to a contender and be paid a premium for his services.  For him to still remain with the Celtics I think he should accept an annual salary of about $3 million.  The Celtics are going to be a lottery team.  And for a veteran like Pierce who is still competitive in nature, what would psyche him up everyday when you know all your efforts would amount to nothing.
Title: Re: NBA 2014-2015 Season (Free Agency:July 1)
Post by: thebat on Oct 23, 2014 at 11:23 AM
^ sorry but your opinion is totally opposite to mine. Where are the celts the past two years now? And where are we heading? Certainly again not this year. I am totally against any total rebuilding. Dapat transition lang. Imho, Ainge really messed up since that title in 2008. He traded players that are relevant to the team ok lang kung me pinalit na ok pero wala e. Sinayang nya yung window of opportunities.
The rebuilding thru the draft doesnt mean a thing to me. Simply because wala namang super star players sa draft.
Just look at cleveland cavs. 3 times getting the #1 pick pero di makapasok sa playoffs.
Ainge let go of KG and Pierce and got what in return?
Title: Re: NBA 2014-2015 Season (Free Agency:July 1)
Post by: DVD_Freak on Oct 23, 2014 at 11:41 AM
The only thing I think Ainge messed up was the Kendrick Perkins trade. They had the best record in the NBA then when the trade happened. Then the team went spiraling downwards.  But if the starting point would be after that horrific trade, rebuilding was the only option.  Yun sa draft tsambahan talaga.  But to get a marquee free agent, it has to be a mutual arrangement as well. No  free agent seems to want to come to Boston.  They went after Kevin Love hard.  But Saunders did not oblige. So what other option is there but to collect draft picks?

As for holding onto Pierce and KG...both costing around $30 million in cap space, there are only two schools of thought on this...
1.    Go over the cap, be mediocre and get booted out in the first round annually.
2.    Total rebuild, clear cap space for free agents, be in the lottery collect picks.

So dun ako sa 2.  Waste of time for me to be annually mediocre...good enough to be in the playoffs but not a chance to win a title or be a scrub team, hopefully win the top pick, clear cap space to chase FAs or be lucky enough for a trade.

Yun trade ni Pierce and KG what did the Cs get in return? After a year.....si Gerald Wallace na lang yun cap space killer. Like I said Pierce and KG took up about $30M in cap space....wala na si Humphries and Bogans.  From $30 million, it's now down to $10M. And we still get 2 more draft picks from the Nets... afaik 2016 & 2018.

Yup sayang yun year na yun.  Ainge pushed the panic button kasi and he got burned.  Dapat roll the dice na lang.  Nasira kasi yun chemistry.  Hahaha!  Yun din concern ko....wag mapantayan yun 17 ng Boston.   ;D  As for Rondo...

Entire season. It's a shame he couldnt play that much for the Lakers. The Suns totally got the better deal when they got picks for Nash. If the Lakers dont get the top 5 pick next draft, the Suns will get their 1st round pick.

On the bright side, this should give Jordan Clarkson some playing time. Would love to see a fil-am flourish in the NBA.

Hindi pa nakapaglaro ng full season si Rondo after Pierce and Garnett left. Sana keep muna siya ng Celtics, I like to see his maturity and leadership on and off the court. Wish ko lang makapasok sila sa playoffs this year.

Ganda kaagad first game. Spurs escape with a 1 point win.

Sana good start din ang lakers. Wala na sanang injuries!

Let's manage our expectations for our Lakers.  Huhuhu.

I guess the best thing that the Lakers can do is see Kobe break Jordan's scoring record.  Other than that, I don't want to keep my hopes high given the lineup they have.

Yes sir. Eto first half pa lang wasak na ang lakers. No defense parang last year lang. Madalas iso plays pa sa offense. Hope they can recover.

I hope he picks himself up. His morale will be at an all-time low. Kid was even crying. kitang kita sa isang camera angle na nabali while he was still in the air. close to PG13's injury pero swerte kasi hindi nya naitapak.

Sana mag mala-Blake Griffin yung bata. BG also suffered a fracture (knee yata) during the last pre-season game ng rookie year nya. James Worthy also had a fractured leg during his rookie season and he turned out just fine. Coincidentally, it was Worthy who represented the Lakers during the draft lottery.

*sigh*

With everything going wrong for the Lakers, I wouldn't be surprised if the injuries continue.

You don't think the fully loaded CAVS and King James will be playing for the NBA Finals?

OKC to win it all?
The West is loaded and considering the injury of Durant, I have to disagree with your prediction of OKC as NBA Champs this coming season.

hula-hula lang naman  :D

hula ko magiging blessing in disguise ang injury ni kd. they will suffer in the regular season standings but he'll be much fresher come playoff time. little toe injury lang naman, kayang-kaya nyang bumawi.

as for the bulls pick, i'm counting on their defense to make a difference in the east playoffs. it's not like last year na si DJ Augustin ang leading scorer nila. hopefully healthy ang bulls.

puro defense ang bias ng mga picks ko  :D

di pa ko masyadong kumpyansa sa Cavs, i think that they are a few pieces away from being truly legit.

hindi pwde mag 6th man si iguodala since starter siya.

according to Kerr, off the bench daw muna sya.

Good start by the young Celtics beating the Nets 121-105 last night. Beantown still loves Garnett as he got the loudest cheer during the first five introduction. Kahit may technical foul "KG" "KG" pa rin ang chant sa garden...hehehe!

Rondo looks good on his first game with double-double performance.

CAVS-KNICKS ...... eyesore of a game so far.

Lebron with a terrible 1st half ...... Love, Irving & Varejao are the lone bright spots.

Carmelo Anthony still doing what he does best - jumpshot, jumpshot, jumpshot, jumpshot, etc ...... volume shooting at its best baby.  ;D

==================================================================

The KNICKS running the triangle, showed very little success ....... ika nga nang coverage team (Charles Barkley & Reggie Miller), the triangle doesn't work without great players.  ;D

Once the KNICKS ran basic pick and pop plays, ayun naka-lamang at naka-dikit na sa CAVS.

Transcendent players like Kobe, etc ..... their legacies are cast in stone.

If anything, a healthy Bryant leading his ragtag team to fight for the last playoff spot, would ony enhance his legacy some more.

I had watched 3 out of 4 LAKERS game this season - to be fair to them, they competed hard and simply fell to superior teams during 4th quarters. Tells you something, when a stiff like Sacre gets minutes in your rotation - LAKERS are shallow on all positions.

However, am really so proud of the way Kobe is playing... And even the Lakers who are left, actually. Depleted line up lang talaga.

Pero, Go Lakers pa rin ako. Hehe

nbc

haha

ganun talaga. nagkaleche-leche simula nung di natuloy yung CP3 trade. Malas. When Kobe is on fire, it's a joy to watch pero pag sobrang off sa isang quarter, nakakainis na din. hahaha

Si Randle sana nakakatuwa panuorin. Big guy who goes coast to coast. Sino ba PF na ganun before? Charles Barkley? But of course, much more power si Barkley compared kay Randle. Sayang talaga nainjured.

Ed Davis, ok din. Mukhang pwede pa mag-improve. Wes Johnson, starting to develop his jumper. Yun nga lang, mukhang low iq.

Sana makapaglaro na Swaggy P para naman may kasalitan si Kobe sa pagtira. :D

tama ka, need nila si Daddy Swag na. mas mahihirapan kalabanin sila ng kalaban pag kobe and swaggy sabay naglalaro. Si Wes johnson talagang low iq. back to the bench dapat yan.

Ed Davis ok yan. 64% FG ata sya ngayon for the past few games (correct me if im wrong)

sayang si randle. nabaliaan pa. sana mag ala james worthy sya next yr sa pag balik niya

An NBA Detective Story: Who in the Lakers Organization Knows They’re Tanking?

Quote
Then there’s Scott’s much-maligned offensive philosophy. What if Rip Van Winkle became a head coach after falling asleep in 1994? Scott explained his plan to have the Lakers take between 10 and 15 3s per game to the L.A. Times: “I don’t believe it [3-pointers] wins championships. It gets you to the playoffs.” Strictly speaking, like where you compare the previous statement to things that have actually happened, this is not true

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/an-nba-detective-story-who-in-the-lakers-organization-knows-theyre-tanking/

Go Lakers! (on to the 2015 draft, I mean, where we will have 2 1st round picks)  ;D

P.S. It was so hard for me to renew my League Pass subscription knowing that the Lakers would suck so bad this year, but I still could not resist the what ifs. What if Kobe scores 60 points? What if the game when Kobe ties or passes MJ in the scoring leaders is not shown on NBA Premium? What if the Lakers get a player in a mid-season trade?

Kobe is one of the greatest in NBA. Period.  He may not be the greatest, but his success and legacy will always be remembered. No matter his team is in a slump right now. He had the heart for the team and the sport. Being loyal to his team is already great enough. I don't get it why all the hate he is receiving. Maybe when he dies, that is where people turn tables. :)

And yes. Kobe fan right here. :D

There were reports that came out that nobody like to play with kobe. I wonder if it's true. Here is more from deadspin.com


ESPN has dropped a feature on Kobe Bryant in the latest issue of ESPN: The Magazine, and it's a doozy. The title "Is Kobe Bryant the reason for the Los Angeles Lakers' downfall?" seems misleadingly non-committal, as author Henry Abbott clearly believes that the answer is an unequivocal "yes." The piece—which is heavy on the use of agents as anonymous sources—details the Lakers collapse since winning the NBA Finals in 2010, and lays most of the blame at the feet of one Kobe Bean Bryant.

The basic thesis is that Bryant's megalomania has precluded any free agents of note from signing with the Lakers in the past few years. Now that Bryant is not a top five (or even atop 40, but we'll save that topic for another day) NBA player, nobody that doesn't have to is willing to put up with his bullcrap anymore. The piece details the numerous free agents who refused to sign with the Lakers in large part because of Bryant, but what's really breathtaking is just how many agents are willing to absolutely pummel Bryant.

"Peek behind the banners," says one longtime NBA agent, "and it's rotten."

"Kobe is like the big rock in their front yard," says an agent who has had a Lakers client in recent years. "You can't mow over it, so you just have to mow around it."

Another agent with current Lakers clients was asked whether Bryant undermined the team's rebuilding by alienating would-be free agent recruits. "Well, duh," he replied. "Isn't that obvious?"

"I've had a lot of clients in the last five years, good players, who didn't want to play with Kobe," says an agent who has had numerous NBA stars. "They see that his teammates become the chronic public whipping boys. Anyone who could possibly challenge Kobe for the spotlight ends up becoming a pincushion for the media. Even Shaq."

"I just never felt like the Lakers put as much effort into the building-the-team part of it," says an agent who once had a free agent decline a Lakers offer. "I saw some things in the players' parking lot. Conversations between Bynum and his people and some people with the Lakers. It got pretty rough and heated."

And just for fun, Abbott lets a front office executive take a swing at the piñata:

"It's horrendous. It's evil. It's a hard drug to quit when you're winning," says a front office executive from a rival team who knows everyone involved well. "Kobe has cost the Lakers dearly in human capital. Kobe has hurt a lot of people. In some cases jeopardized careers."

On a basic level, the premise is quite simple. Kobe Bryant is undeniably an idiot to his teammates, and has a well-known penchant to kill them in the press both on and off the record. That was worth putting up with when being his teammate guaranteed a shot at a title, but now that Kobe Bryant is basically as good as Dion Waiters, they'd rather work with literally anybody else.

But in nearly every example Abbott offers, there are also obvious non-Kobe reasons why players signed with other teams. Ramon Sessions got a longer deal with the Bobcats. Dwight Howard had a better chance of winning with the Rockets. LeBron James wanted to go home to Cleveland. Chris Bosh received more money from the Heat.

In any case, after Kobe Bryant supposedly ruined any chance the Lakers had at re-signing Dwight Howard, why did the team still hand him an astronomical two-year, $48.5 million dollar contract? Jim Buss and money.

Jim Buss—the son of longtime owner Jerry Buss—has had the final say on decisions since his father died in 2013, and decided to avoid pissing off Bryant. Buss has been harshly criticized by Peter Vecsey, Magic Johnson, and Phil Jackson among others, and has little credibility around the league or with Lakers fans. Rather than have his first two big moves as the boss be losing Howard and amnestying Bryant, Buss decided to buy Bryant's good will.

The other reason is purely economic. The Lakers can make up to $150 million annually from their local TV, but according to one of Abbott's sources, the final amount hinges upon ratings. Kobe Bryant alone is enough to keep a lot of fans watching a bad team, and that directly translates into dollars in the pocket. It's also important to note that the team is the source of Buss's wealth; the Lakers don't have an owner who can cover losses with personal billions.

Kobe Bryant is already pissed at ESPN. It'll be fun to see how he decides to respond to this one.

Hindi ba yun wala rin naman ibang gagawa is a lame excuse?  Even during the Shaq years Kobe was already being blamed that he shoots too much.  Sabi rin ni Phil Jackson.  Then yun Gasol years, teammates have also aired the same...sina Lamar Odom, Bynum, etc.  And hindi lang ako aware bro if there is that one teammate who stands up for Kobe.  Dati tingin ko si Gasol yun.  Kaso pati si Pau walk out na.  Sabi pa nga ni Kobe as long as he is a Laker, Pau will also be a Laker....pero Bulls na ngayon.   ;D

As for D12, I don't think Kobe did try.  Even with Howard being a diva himself, Kobe's pitch was such a turn off.  I believe Kobe when he says he wants to win.  And he wants players who will help him win.  Ang problema lang dapat Kobe is the central figure in that winning team.  If the team wins, it's because of him.

I really think Kobe is the problem. I believe in the espn article. Of course the play of other players will be affected because parang na si "kobe lahat dapat, give me the ball dapat." They can't play their game anymore. They are too conscious of what to do in the court. If they make mistakes, mapagalitan ni Kobe or Kobe will blame them. It is imo very hard talaga to play with this kind of player.

Kobe Bryant should learn from NBA history

By: rick olivares, nbaphilippines.com



It’s only the opening night for the new NBA season and there are already fireworks, game-winning buzzer-beaters, affirmations of contender status and reminders of who are works in progress.

The one that takes the cake is that argument between the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and the Houston Rockets’ Dwight Howard. With 7:07 left in the match and the Rockets ahead by 25 points, Howard pulled down a defensive rebound while Bryant tried to poke the ball away. The two stood for a few seconds with Kobe poking with Dwight trying to clear space until he nailed the Laker guard with an elbow immediately earning a technical foul. As officials and teammates separated the two, Kobe jawed at Howard and called him “soft” and urged him to “try me.”

While Howard “started” it, it is but the latest in a PDD (Public Display of Dislike) by the two and that had me thinking of an article where Henry Abbott cited anonymous sources about players refusing to play alongside Bryant for his reputation of fighting and putting down teammates. That came barely a day or two after he was ranked at the NBA’s 40th best player by ESPN, which prompted Bryant to call the media network as a bunch of “idiots.”

While I may not agree with the ranking, if Howard was said to have an opportunity to take the high road in that scrum with Bryant, Kobe also had the opportunity to do the same. Instead, as Lakers beat reporter Ramona Shelburne Tweeted, “(Recently retired New York Yankees star Derek) Jeter never made a “second story.” Never added logs to the fire. Kobe tries the same but can’t help say something interesting.”

And, “Reading through @kobebryant quotes tonight shows diff between him and Jeter (to whom he’s oft compared – aging legend, iconic franchise).”

As everything unfolded with Kobe backtracking somewhat and saying it was merely “trash talking,” I thought of Michael Jordan and how his career went from being bookended with the shot at North Carolina and the shot at Chicago to being cut at Laney and being cut at Washington which is actually his last act as a NBA player.

In his final season with the Washington Wizards, he alienated every single player that no one gave him a send-off. Michael Leahy chronicled that final year with the Wizards in the unflattering book, “When Nothing Else Matters.” I’d say that goes hand-in-hand with Sam Smith’s “The Jordan Rules” the first book to demystify Jordan.

Kobe, who makes no bones about His Airness as his basketball idol, should learn from that. Despite what is a Hall of Fame career and one that will see him named as one of the ten best NBA players of all time, Bryant is headed down Jordan’s road. In fact, he is one of the most polarizing players ever to lace up a pair of sneakers.

The 1998 NBA All-Star game foreshadowed Bryant’s career. In what was then believed to be Jordan’s last in the mid-season classic, Kobe waved off screens and teammates to take on Jordan and took the most shots from the Western Conference squad. Not a few basketball analysts point to this episode as a portent of what was to come – taking a volume of shots and putting himself above the team.

Kobe’s response to criticism has shocking and infuriating. In a game against the Sacramento Kings in 2004, he took one shot in the entire first half after LA coach Phil Jackson pointed out that he shoots too much at the expense of the team. That prompted then teammate Gary Payton to ask before the next game, “Are you going to play or not?”

Incredibly, he did it again. During Game 7 of the first round match-up with the Phoenix Suns during the 2006 playoffs, Bryant took only three shots in the second half. It is seen as not only quitting on his team that lost a 3-1 series lead but also his petulance when criticized for taking too many shots. 

Earlier this 2014, he was in the center of a social media storm when he ruffled feathers about the Trayvon Martin case. That also didn’t endear him to LeBron James, who could have joined the Lakers but opted to return to Cleveland after his contract with the Miami Heat ended.

For the record, I am a fan of both Jordan and Bryant. But it is tough being a fan of both. I still cringe when I think of or even see video of the Black Cat’s Hall of Fame speech. Hopefully, Bryant doesn’t do the same.

Bryant’s days on the hard court are numbered. I’d rather he just let his game do the talking. And if anything, he should be grateful that he is back and unlike teammate Steve Nash, whose body has betrayed him to the point where his acquisition by the Lakers is seen as one of the worst in league history (only because he didn’t play too much due to injury), he has the opportunity to go out on his terms.

Now if he only doesn’t add more logs to the fire.

I didnt get the memo that it was Kobe Hate day today. Haha

It's only logical for players who are on the rise to want to avoid teaming up with Kobe. It stunts their growth because Kobe's usage rate is so high, it gives them less opportunities to shine.

Kaya nga si Pau perfect for Kobe back then coz he did not want to be the team's star. He was contented playing second-fiddle. Dwight on the other hand, wanted to be the man. Sure enough, Kobe did not want to budge. Sabi nya nga kay Dwight (as condescending as it may sound)- I will teach you how to be a champion (just running it from memory, so might have worded it differently). Ibig sabihin, matuto ka muna bago ka mangarap na maging main focus ng isang team. Sabi naman ni Kobe na Dwight would be the focal point of the Lakers when he retires. But Dwight couldn't wait. So now he is happy playing second-fiddle to BinHarden. Best option nya naman talaga is to leave the Lakers kasi crummy team yung nabuo ng Lakers unlike sa Rockets na young and malaki potential to grow.

Anyway, the league will surely be at a loss once Kobe retires so rather than hate on Kobe for the negative stuff (i.e. horrendous fg/volume shooting), i'd rather focus on the positive things he will be doing. I'm purely a Lakers fan and I support the players on the team  no matter what.(except when they had Kwame Brown.that guy sucks donkey balls)

Did you read the espn article? Here is an excerpt. I will believe these insiders than your sources

IN JULY 2013, after one tumultuous season in LA, Dwight Howard had reached free agency with a flood of carefully arranged meetings with the Rockets, Hawks, Mavericks, Warriors and Lakers. For the Lakers, it was a dry run for the 2014 recruiting game. Could they persuade a major star to stay with Bryant?

The Lakers meeting took place in Beverly Hills on July 2 in the modernist, windowless conference room at Relativity Media -- the offices of Howard's agent. Kupchak, Howard's closest ally on the team, prepped the Lakers' pitch. One big point: Listen carefully. Another: Dress appropriately. "Our approach," a Lakers source explained at the time, "is that we are interviewing for the job. We want to show that this is a place his dreams can come true."

As the Lakers' contingent settled into the conference room's ergonomic chairs, it was clear that two-time MVP point guard Steve Nash, in a nice crisp shirt, listening attentively, was running Kupchak's game plan. But Bryant showed up, according to a person in the room, in "hoops shorts, a T-shirt and a gold chain." He had also packed an attitude.

When Howard asked why his teammates let the injured center take all the flak when the Lakers' season went south, Nash said he didn't know that Howard had felt that way and that had he known, he would have acted differently. Bryant, on the other hand, offered a crash course in developing thick skin and a mini lecture on learning how to win. Sources told ESPN Insider Chris Broussard that Bryant's lecture was "a complete turnoff" for Howard.

"It wasn't an easy meeting to be involved in," Kupchak later said on Cowherd's radio show. "And I decline to go into great detail." Howard shortly thereafter chose to leave for the Rockets, even though it cost him roughly $30 million in guaranteed salary.

The story of the Lakers' losing Howard has been told as one of the big man chafing under Mike D'Antoni's offense. One Lakers source, though, says Howard's issue wasn't really with the offensive scheme but that "he saw one particular player play outside that scheme with carte blanche, with no accountability. These people who say Dwight couldn't handle the pressure of Los Angeles ... that's nonsense. LA was everything Dwight wanted. To be celebrated. To be among stars. To be among women of this caliber. To live, basically, in one big reality TV show. This was a perfect setting for him."

Bryant, who declined through a Lakers spokesman to comment for this story, playfully grumbles about today's youth and their newfangled ways, but there really is an element to his play that is from the past. By the old points-per-game measure, he was not just a perennial All-Star but one of the best players ever. But the league has changed around Bryant, and swiftly. The movement of people and the ball, 3s, rim attacks, coordinated defensive effort and generating open shots for teammates are what's winning now. Subsuming ego and glorifying teammates is a winning NBA strategy, and it's what D'Antoni and Nash attempted to bring to the Lakers.

After his first year with Bryant, Nash couldn't hide his disappointment when talking to Grantland's Zach Lowe: "I think it'd be nice to find a middle ground where he does his thing but the ball still can move for great parts of the game. ... But I knew it wasn't going to be the same. When you play with Kobe Bryant, the ball is gonna be with him most of the time."

Or it will be, at least, until he shoots it. Bryant has fired away for nearly two decades. He's fourth on the NBA's all-time scoring list, trailing only Kareem, Karl Malone and Michael Jordan. He's also just a few weeks' play from setting an all-time league record for misses. "The problem is, he's just not as good as he thinks he is," says one source in the Lakers' inner circle. "He's just not as efficient as he thinks he is. If he had the other intangibles, like LeBron, or if he was any kind of different person, it would have been easy for us to attract talent, retain it and win."

From another writer, from the meeting in 2013. Kaya iba talaga si Magic and Bird.

Report: Kobe Bryant challenges Dwight Howard in Lakers meeting
By Matt Moore | NBA writer

Yahoo Sports reports that when Lakers star Kobe Bryant spoke with free agent center Dwight Howard at their meeting Tuesday, there was no ring kissing (or kissing of anything else). Bryant did what he always does, brought the highest level of competitive spirit possible and came off as abrasive but honest.

"You need to learn how it's done first, and I can teach you here," Bryant told Howard during the Lakers' presentation, witnesses in the room described to Yahoo! Sports.

"You have to learn how it's done," Bryant told Howard, witnesses described. "I know how to do it and I've learned from the best – players who have won multiple times over and over."

"Instead of trying to do things your way, just listen and learn and tweak it, so it fits you," Bryant told him.

"You have to learn how it's done," Bryant told Dwight Howard on the way out of the Lakers, or maybe the way back into them.

via Kobe Bryant challenges Dwight Howard in meeting - Yahoo! Sports.

People that should be surprised Bryant took this approach: No one.

But was this the right approach? No.

Think of it this way.

A lot of times an employer won't be honest about how difficult a job is, or the hard personalities involved. You want the employee excited about the opportunity. Once they're there, you can introduce them to the challenges and the reward for overcoming those. But the big problem here isn't the portrayal of how hard greatness is to achieve. It's that Bryant's acting like he's the only human being to have success on the basketball court, ever. A lot of great players have discovered their own way.

Bryant's pitch should have been about how they could accomplish great things, but the takeaway from this little speech is that Bryant can allow Howard to have greatness. He can give it to him, like a bonus check while the CEO, Bryant, collects all the profits. It doesn't engage Howard as an active participant in the greatness Howard wants to aspire to. Bryant can be great, and share that with Howard.

Not a great way to sell a guy who as his own firm ideas about what he wants for his career, for his life, for his way of success.

You can't be surprised Bryant went this route, but you wonder how Howard will respond. Is he willing to be Bryant's lapdog? That's the question now.

Howard is in Aspen, Colorado debating his options with his agents after visiting with teams this week and is expected to issue a decision sometime in the next week.

No Lakers-related article goes by me. I am that hardcore. So, yes, I have read that before. What is your point though? The article says almost the same thing I said. Kobe imposed his way on Howard, Howard did not like Kobe's way and he also wanted to be the main dog in LA. For Dwight, his time is NOW and he did not want to be in the shadow of a 36-year old legend.

What is with your fascination with these ESPN articles anyway? So what if there are players that don't want to play with Kobe? So what if Kobe may or may not have been the biggest reason for the Lakers' sorry situation right now? Are we to just simply disregard all the years where he helped bring the Lakers 5 championships?

The fact is, the Lakers enjoyed a long period of success with Kobe on the team.

I posted that article because you said "Dwight wanted to be the man" What is your source that says Dwight wanted to be the man? The espn article specifically says: a complete turnoff. For me it's more of Kobe's brash attitude. Kala mo kung sino..

When Howard asked why his teammates let the injured center take all the flak when the Lakers' season went south, Nash said he didn't know that Howard had felt that way and that had he known, he would have acted differently.

As a Kobe and Lakers fan, I am cognizant of  his faults. But that Henry Abbott article was written without context and meant solely to take him down - the comments about Ramon Sessions, Kevin Love and Paul George alone, are completely inaccurate. Both Sessions and Paul George have reacted against the piece, along with PhilJax. Kevin Love need not have reacted because he was under contract (up to next year) and was traded to Cleveland and could not have maneuvered his way to LA (nor could Kobe have dissuaded him).

Here is an article which points out the flaws in Mr. Abbott's piece -

This quote came from the same Phil Jackson however supporting Abbott's article saying no one wants to play with Kobe.  It involved the pitch for Howard to return to the Lakers....

Quote
Last week, Phil Jackson added another story to the saga with his recount of the Dwight Howard free agency meeting with the Lakers last summer.

    “And Kobe made a moving speech during the pitch, promising to teach Dwight the secret of winning championships that he’d learned from the best in the game.

    “If the meeting had ended there, it might have worked. But after the presentation, Dwight asked Kobe what he was planning to do after he recovered from his Achilles injury. Was this going to be his last year? “No,” replied Kobe. “I’m planning to be around for three or four more years.”

    “At that point, according to others in the room, Dwight’s eyes went blank and he drifted away. In his mind, the game was over. […] A few days later he announced that he was signing with the Rockets.”

The passage is an excerpt from Jackson’s reissue of his autobiography Eleven Rings, and isn’t the first time Phil has raked Kobe through the coals in one of his books.

Assertion #4: Phil Jackson Said Bryant was Too Hard to Deal With

Jackson’s books talked about Kobe’s difficulty to deal with at a younger age. But as Kobe matured, and towards their 2008-2010 runs, Jackson’s tone on Kobe noticeably changed. Abbott and Cowherd chose to ignore all those quotes, focusing instead on quotes from earlier in Bryant’s career.

A simple Google search brings up quotes like this: “I love Kobe Bryant. I consider him like my son. I consider him as someone who I had a tense relationship with, but something that has mellowed through the course of the years.”

That tense relationship dates back to 2004, or ten years ago for those counting. Phil Jackson doesn’t hate Kobe Bryant, and through the prime of his career, Bryant got along just fine with Phil.

Finally, Jackson RT a tweet from Flea this week, dumping on Abbott’s article, if that means anything to anyone.

I'm not sure if Kerr is indeed a better coach than Mark Jackson. It remains to be seen. Speaking of the Kings, their surprising play has been sparked by Collison's and Cousin's superb display. Hope they can keep it up (but I highly doubt it).

As for the Clippers, they'll figure it out soon...I hope. They are too talented to be playing the way they are right now.

I think you mean spurs, hindi nag laro si Manu and Duncan.

still not a valid reason to lost a game... its a team... :)

anyway... ano meron sa rockets na wala sa Lakers (or ano meron sa Lakers na wala sa Rockets) bakit nagiging halimaw sa laro si Superman :):)

he just had back surgery when he was traded to the lakers. right now he is fully recovered. expected din na halimaw yung laro ni dwight kanina since wala naman yung starters ng spurs (duncan and splitter)

the rockets have yet to be tested, they had a fairly easy first 6 games, spurs lang ang malakas dun di pa naglaro karamihan (duncan, splitter, manu, mills)

id wait how they fair against the top teams in the league. they have a weak bench and the PG and PF spot is also weak.

Hindi naman trying hard si kobe. Kuhang kuha nga niya e,.kulang ng isang singsing lang nga. Well he won championships with only 2 stars unlike other teams who won it with,more than 2 hehe.
but jordan did all in 12 years.
kobe started early @ 18, and is now on his 18th.
so di natin pwedeng sabihin "kuhang kuha nya and 1 ring nalang kulang".

Kuhang kuha pa rin ni kobe. pero jordan  is jordan. Goat sya. kuha nya galaw and the work ethic and the drive for excellence kaso nasobrahan lang nga. true that 12 vs 18 years is a big difference. Jordan had a complete arsenal in his championship teams (lalo na si the worm who i really love). Si kobe hinde ganun ka lakas ang team niya as compared to goats team but 5 rings pa rin meron nya.

Next 10 games - Grizzlies, Pelicans, Spurs, Warriors, Hawks, Rockets, Mavs, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Wolves

Offhand, the only winnable games there would be maybe the Nuggets and Wolves? (not quite sure how the Hawks are doing) That would make them 3-13 after 16 games. #tankfortop5

ppg 27.5
fg% 38.8%

meanwhile James Harden who is supposedly in his prime and self confessed best SG in the league.

ppg 25.1
fg% 38.7%

even Kevin Love who is supposed to be a shooter is at 39.3%.

But Harden's PER is at 25.5 compared to Kobe's 20.8 (Kobe's worst since his third year excluding his year off to injuries)  Hardens's TS% is 57% to Kobe's 49%.  Harden also contributes more rebounds at 6.4rpg (Kobe 5.4rpg) and assists at 7.5apg(Kobe 3.6apg).

Using only PPG & FG% as basis barely draws a clear picture though.  Imagine this season has Kobe averaging the 2nd highest ave. FGA in his career but shooting a career worst and first time in his career shooting at 39% is horrible.  Harden shooting 39% doesn't lift Kobe's shooting % any bit.  But both actually are shooting atrociously from the field.

Eto yun naaalala ko....The Trent Tucker Rule

Quote
Sounds impossible, right? The league thought so, too. So with the start of the 1990-91 season, a new rule was in place. Now, teams inbounding with .3 or less on the clock have to attempt a tip-in or a dunk. The new standard is commonly known as the "Trent Tucker Rule."
http://basketball.about.com/od/collegebasketballglossary/g/trent-tucker-rule.htm

So 0.3 or less....tip in or dunk lang pwede?
Title: Re: NBA 2014-2015 Season (REGULAR SEASON ONGOING)
Post by: dyerds on Nov 14, 2014 at 03:04 PM
Medyo magulo nga sya dahil dun sa last paragraph ng link mo pero sa binigay kong link, it says:

Per NBA rules, as long as there is at least 0.3 seconds on the clock, a player can secure possession and shoot without having to tip the ball in. This is commonly known as the "Trent Tucker Rule," so named after the former Knicks guard stunned the Bulls by catching and shooting a three with one-tenths of a second left.

Maybe a dunk or tip in with less than 0.3 secs. The ref counts Courtney Lee's shot which means a player can do a catch and shoot with 0.3 sec left or else they should have waived that shot.

Yup. And then ang Wolves ang next possible victory. So 3-13 after 16 games.

Also, I can't believe that Byron Scott didn't put his foot down and minimize Kobe's minutes (he played 36 minutes yata in that 1-14 game) when Kobe was sick. It's not like they had a chance against the Spurs anyway.

Did you see the game? We're re talking about a depleted OKC team playing without Durant and Westbrook whilst the Rockets have all players healthy and OKC almost won that game. It exposed the rockets same weakness when they play with a very gritty defensive team, wala na silang magawa. Howard cannot even buy a bucket in the 3rd and 4th quarter not to mention his very poor free throw shooting. In the end they all went to Harden for a one and one situation, which very easy to anticipate and guard later on come playoffs.

What houston need is another big forward to help out Howard.

Tambak nanaman lakers. This is worse than watching the smush-kwame teams. Offense is mostly 1-on-1 plays and they play no defense.

That's an idea. Palaruin lang ng 20mins per game. Haha

Crowd will still watch pero the offense will flow better. Nakakasawa hero ball. Andaming beses na kitang kita na may open na Lakers player pero si Kobe parang kabayo na may blinders. Bwisit

The Grizzlies are continuing to roll. Grit & grind talaga. They play Toronto next - another blue-collar team without marquee players but surpisingly, the East's best team so far in the standings.

Meanwhile, Anthony Davis continues to play at an MVP-level (especially in Fantasy Basketball): 26+ ppg (65% FG), 10+ rpg, 4 bpg and almost 3 spg in the last 5 games. Hanep! Sa tres lang mahina. :)

Remaining games for this month:

Boston
Phoenix
NY Knicks
Portland
Brooklyn
Dallas

December, they face the Spurs again. Tapos eto na siguro chance nila manalo ---vs Timberwolves! haha

if talo pa din sila nun, they'll have a 0-18 record. Tied for the worst with the Nets.

Watching the TOR-CLE game ...... Halftime, TOR leads 56-54 after battling back from 18pts down. 

Two-cents (from watching this and a few other CLE games):

** It's still way too early and he is a rookie NBA coach, but I haven't seen anything outstanding from David Blatt, so far ....... it's all isolation-heavy on offense and his team defense is far inferior to other 'new' NBA coaches.

** Again, it's all early, but Kevin Love does look lost in this CLE offense - all he seems to do is camp in the 3pt area, waiting for the kick-out ...... not much difference with Dudut Jaworski.  ;D

As for defense, Love has always looked lost since joining the NBA. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

** TOR deserves its record ...... ball and people movement is fast and they have some very decent takeover guys e.g. Derozan, Lowry & Williams

the whole team look lost on offense and defense. they don't have a SG. their Center is a 2nd if not 3rd tier big who flops 90% of the time. Irving looks to score one on one most of time instead of playing like a PG. Love plays no D. and their bench is thin.

My wish is that Byron:

1. Plays Kobe only 30 minutes a game, regardless of what he says;
2. Starts playing Clarkson soon, even 10-15 minutes a game, just so he gets used to NBA basketball.

Ito yung "medjo" hiniritan ni Nick Young sa post-game interview na kelangan ni Kobe magtrust sa teammates. Masiyadong close-minded at hero ball gusto. Nakakainis na din minsan. Nakatunganga lang tuloy teammates nya kasi alam nilang hindi ipapasa.

B.Scott is the tank commander. Kobe is the tank General.

Every loss is just another step closer to keeping that top 5 pick for next season. big men yung ok sa draft next season.

And his 12 point flurry in the 3rd Quarter actually helped the Lakers build a comfortable lead.  Nice one from the Black Mamba.

Oo nga... Parang masyado siyang nanggigil kay Beal and gustong pasikatan... Ayan, tuloy, pumalpak. :p

Ok lang... Go Lakers pa rin!

Btw, haven't really been following the standings... Was surprised how Detroit and the Knicks had even worse records than the Lakers.

Mukha nga...  Pero I'm sure the much showcased Replay Center in Secaucus, New Jersey, would've given the refs everything they need to validate.  The steps should begin count when both hands hold the ball?  Yung first step yata is when the ball was on the upward path of the last dribble.

Traveling din tingin ko.  Nag one step pa kasi siya and lifted his pivot foot when he spun.  But the way I understand it, you can protest a wrong call.  But you can't a missed call.

When Ellis put both hands on the ball already, he spun using his right foot as his pivot.  Then planted his left foot.....lifted his right pivot and took the shot with the left foot.  Dapat the pivot should be the last one to leave the floor when taking the shot.

What Ellis did was similar to a "side" (I don't know the technical term, we just call it that growing up) step. Difference is that he did it while spinning, kaya mukhang travel.

That move is like a lay up where you can take two steps before releasing the ball. You can also do that move back to the basket post up play. Basta two steps lang, 3 steps travel na yun.

Yup side step.  Interpretation ko naman side step is done na parang lay up na rin.  Parang yun ke Ginobli.  Also yun side step ok basta in one direction lang siya going to the basket. Eto fronting the basket, spin then jumpshot. So it was neither a lay up or a side step going to the basket.  Ang mas pwede siguro yun jumpshot na you hop then land on both feet than shoot.  Eto kasi he shot it with one foot while lifting his pivot.

Ball Don't Lie

"The stunning finish was upheld after video review and the Mavs left town with a 107-105 win. It initially looked like Ellis might have traveled, but his movement was legal — it was just a very odd interpretation of the rules. A running fadeaway out of a spin move just isn't a shot many players will consider, let alone choose to take. It's an incredible play regardless of its impact on the game".

It is unconventional indeed pero after checking several time, good talaga yun for me. Two steps lang after picking the ball up..besides, NBA guys with huge HD feed could see it better and they let it go.

Good move yun, kasi it was not a pivot foot.  Pivot foot is when the other foot is shifted back and forth while pivot foot is planted.  It was actually the 1st step, although it was done while spinning.  2nd step was the left foot which was used to fade away.  Monta is just that talented.

2015 NBA All-Star voting is underway. As usual, so many deserving players in the West as starters, but can't say the same for the East.

My picks (2 backcourt, 3 frontcourt players):

East - Wall, Irving, Lebron, Bosh, Pau Gasol
West - Curry, Kobe, KD, Griffin, Anthony Davis

Are those popular votes or deserving votes?  Kobe & KD at this point don't deserve to be all stars.  The West has an abundance of deserving players and both of them would take away spots from someone else like a Klay Thompson, Lillard or even a Monta Ellis at the guards and Maybe Dirk and Duncan at the frontcourt.

I was about to include Cousins.  But then I thought coaches will surely vote him in.  It would be easier to ignore both Dirk & Duncan I think.  Agree with both Derozan and Lowry over Irving.  Lowry should even start beside Wall.

Mostly deserving in my view, and a few of my "fan" votes, i.e., the players I WANT to see start in the all-star game, regardless of how poorly their respective teams are faring now. :)  I agree KD doesn't deserve a starter vote right now, but I'm expecting him to play at an All-Star starter level by Feb next year.

Kobe Bryant calls his Lakers 'soft,' yells at his GM over lacking teammates

By Kelly Dwyer
16 hours ago
Ball Don't Lie

Players throw temper tantrums in practice all the time. Practices often contain dressing-downs from coaches, which can raise tempers, and scrimmages can get heated. It’s a contentious atmosphere for even the most even-keeled and successful outfits.

The Los Angeles Lakers are not successful, nor are they even-keeled. They’re a poorly constructed team that many think was cobbled together in order to tank the season so as to hang onto the rights to its 2015 NBA draft pick. The problem with this set is that the Lakers still boast Kobe Bryant, the league’s highest-paid player and leading scorer. He’s in his twilight years and could retire in 19 months, and the dude wants to win now.

On Thursday, in full view of assembled media, Kobe appeared to lose his you-know-what after practice:


Mike Bresnahan        ✔ @Mike_Bresnahan
Follow
Epic trash talk between Kobe and Nick Young at practice. Young to Kobe: "Nobody in the world can guard me. Nobody!"
3:44 AM - 12 Dec 2014

@Mike_Bresnahan

Kobe extremely unhappy on the practice court. "Now I see why we've lost so many games. We're soft like Charmin!"
3:46 AM - 12 Dec 2014
 
@Mike_Bresnahan

Kobe yelled to Kupchak while leaving practice court: "These (expletives) aren't doing (expletive) for me." Didn't think team practiced hard.
3:49 AM - 12 Dec 2014

With media and the team’s general manager there. Yikes. Arash Markazi captured the exchange on video. Warning: The audio is not suitable for work.

Kobe Bryant loves playing the martyr nearly as much as he loves winning ballgames, so it was expected that the Kobester could ride out another tough Laker year as the league’s most worried-about player. All it takes is one 30-foot shot from Nick Young, a clang from Robert Sacre or a missed defensive rotation from Carlos Boozer for us to feel sorry for the guy. Even if he is shooting 39 percent and playing terrible defense of his own.

Bryant is just 31 points away from overtaking Michael Jordan for the third spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, with the Lakers set to play the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. This should be a time to celebrate his accomplishments, and instead we’re wondering about the relative worth of his teammates and whether the Lakers should lose every game on purpose.

I’d put the over/under on Kobe field goal attempts at around 50 for Friday night, and the champion Spurs will happily watch Bryant toss ‘em up.

Hahaha!  I actually was surprised si Harden na pala leading scorer sa NBA.   ;D  Harden must have been playing well the past couple of weeks or so.  Because he started the season shooting 38%.  Nasa 42% na siya.  So he is hitting close to half his shots during that span.

Congratulations to the Black Mamba ;D  That's a milestone indeed surpassing Michael Jordan.  Jordan immediately issued a statement :

Jordan issued a statement, via the Associated Press' Jon Krawczynski:
"I congratulate Kobe on reaching this milestone. He's obviously a great player, with a strong work ethic and has an equally strong passion for the game of basketball. I've enjoyed watching his game evolve over the years, and I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next."


And good game vs the Wolves too.  Kobe closed out the game with a 3 point shot to seal the deal.  Don't look now but the Lakers is at .50 with 8-16 record.

Kareem, Wilt, Kobe, Malone 4 among the top 5 NBA scorers of All Time were and for a time wore Purple and Gold @Lakers. Go Lakers!!!

Isn't momentum gained when you go on a straight path?  Ellis stopped, spun, then made a couple of steps in a different direction before launching.  Difference lang in this case, one extra step lang.

Excerpt from the NBA rulebook. I think par. (g) applies. Don't think it's a travel because Gasol only took one more step and was taking a shot.

f. In starting a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player's hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor.

g. If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.

It can be in any direction as long as you intend to lift off immediately on the second step. Gasol had his pivot on the left, moved his right here and there to get position. He jumped with his right, his pivot coming second, that's an extra step.

The move Gasol made is similar to the up and under move.  Sabi nga sa NBA rule book.... If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.

For the up and under move, both feet don't leave the floor at the same time.  That's the jump hook.  McHale uses the pivot foot to move, sets the non-pivot foot to launch, then lifts the pivot foot second.  Nandun sa first video, it was explained na talagang may extra step but is not traveling.  Then yun second video si McHale, take notice when he uses the up and under move to score under the basket....yun he positions himself at one side, makes the up and under move but scores on the opposite side.  He can't do that w/o taking an extra step.

Wala talagang travelling hangga't nakalapat ang pivot foot. Kapag umangat ang pivot at nakalapat pa rin ang non-pivot, travel na yun, like what Gasol did.

Watch the video bro.  Naka explain dun.  You can plant the non-pivot foot and lift the pivot foot basta you are already going up for the shot.  But you must have already released the ball before the pivot foot hits the floor.  Naka explain dun, no traveling violation.  Talagang inemphasize the point about traveling. 

Gasol planted his pivot foot, set the non-pivot then lifted the pivot but he took the shot.  He released the ball before the pivot landed on the floor...no travel as explained sa video.

^I play ball, so the video won't help much :)

Also, it is very clear Gasol was going for an up and under, hindi lang natuloy kasi naipit yung non-pivot nya. kaya naunang umangat yung pivot.

I can already think of several variations of what you're trying to say. Pro ni isa, hindi ko pa nakitang ginawa sa game.

Try this. Left foot pivot. Right foot crosses left, lift using right foot, propel yourself to the left away from the defender using left pivot, then shoot while up in the air. Travel yun.

I play ball too bro....both pick up games every Sat and office tournaments and sa Ateneo alumni league every January (ABL).  The move you are describing.... yes nagagawa ko yan.  As a matter of fact I'm left-handed.  Madali lang yun move na yun kasi for left-handed shooters, you use the right foot to leave the floor kasi yun left foot mo nakaangat na.   :D  Normal lang yun for lefties.

Hahaha! Mas mahirap kasi what hand you use, you leave the floor with the opposite foot.  Pero either left or right handed, basta the NBA rules state that you can lift your pivot foot as long as you are already getting rid of the ball.  But for it not to be called a travel, you must have already released the ball before the pivot foot lands on the floor.

Pang desperate move kasi yun shot.  But yun footwork na ganun, when you play...panisinin mo mga lefties.  When facing the basket, left foot madalas yun pivot ng lefties.  And if it's a running shot, right foot ang ginagamit to leave the floor.  If there's a height advantage, I post up sa left block when facing the basket.  Then I use my right pivot to get off a left jump hook.  But pag kumagat yun defender, I take an extra step using the left foot by the baseline, lift my pivot and jump using my left foot  to lay the ball in.

"Championship or bust" trade done by the MAVS. Losing picks and decent young bigs, makes this an all-in move for them.

MAVS loading up the roster, since Nowitzki has probably only a couple of good years left ..... so better make that championship push while he's still playing at a high level.

Apparently, some teams have already proposed changes to the playoff fornat:

Quote
Several teams have informally pitched fixes. In an email exchange last week with Grantland, Mark Cuban conjured up a temporary plan that would shift Chicago, Detroit, Indiana, and Milwaukee to the West, with the three Texas teams and New Orleans moving to the East. Robert Sarver, the Suns owner, says he brought up the idea of abolishing conferences for at least the purposes of playoff seeding at the league’s board of governors meeting in October. The wound of having the 48-win Suns miss the playoffs last season is still fresh, but Sarver vows to keep poking at the issue regardless of his team’s fate going forward.

“It needs to be looked at,” Sarver tells Grantland. “I’m getting closer to the point where I just think there needs to be a change. It is on the league’s radar screen now.”

Representatives from at least one other Western Conference team — the Thunder — have informally suggested a top-16 playoff structure over the last six months, according to several sources. Some pitches have included the wrinkle of re-seeding the playoffs after each round, league sources say.

League higher-ups understand the outcry. “We are studying the issue closely,” says Adam Silver, the NBA’s commissioner.

"Championship or bust" trade done by the MAVS. Losing picks and decent young bigs, makes this an all-in move for them.

MAVS loading up the roster, since Nowitzki has probably only a couple of good years left ..... so better make that championship push while he's still playing at a high level.






I agree, they want to win now ... they gave up their good future draft picks ... at the start of the season, they were regarded as the strongest in the West - until GS and Memphis went to town

that is a huge possibility with how theyre playing right now, lalo pag na eliminate agad sa playoffs. kaya nga 2 years lang kinuha nyang contract and player option pa yung 2nd year. if that happens ang talo lang dito cleveland.

if lebron bolts im sure kevin love will also leave, cleveland gave up too much to acquire kevin love only to lose him too.

PISTONS were bound to hit a small win streak soon ...... teams like the PISTONS, HORNETS, etc play hard every game, but hard-pressed to win due to a thin roster.

With a coach like Ron Jeremy, este SVG, the PISTONS will play hard every game ...... just have to add some more talent within the next few seasons to contend again.

============================================================================

I expected the HAWKS to (again) make it to the East playoffs, but them leading the conference standings near half of the season - not in a hundred years.  ;D

Goes to show what a real coach coming from a real system, can do a team.

Ako I still subscribe to League Pass even if the Lakers (my team) have not done well the past few years. My dad, who's in the province, is able to watch his favorite teams games using my subscription as well.

The quality is dependent on Internet speed. My globe landline isn't so good lately, so medyo malabo minsan. I use chromecast to cast the feed to my TV para mas malaki. Hit or miss sya, minsan Ok, minsan buffering ng buffering. Mas ok connection yung wired from my router to desktop.

Was able to catch the final minutes live.  More than the game winning shot of Jennings, it's the game losing inbound by Duncan.  And it's not the first time pala.  Sabi ng announcer while Duncan was inbounding, Spurs have been struggling making a clean inbound play in their last few games.  Ayun minalas ulit!!

That's a big acquisition for the Cavs.  They get decent defenders both on the perimeter and the paint. Now no other excuse not to be competitive.

Typo error by TNT.  Should read 23 points which is still a career high.

The big story is the 29 rebounds.

i'll extend this until the playoffs, no need during playoffs as most of those games will be on NBA TV anyway

How about a dunk exhibition contest na lang?  Tipong Lebron and Blake Griffin for a show.  Tapos sidelight throwback dunk exhibition by former winners Carter and Dominique hehehe.  Sigurado kahit di na makatalon yan mga yan sigawan pa rin mga tao..

Seeing these n0n-NBA guys dunk made me think of another innovation :  Play HORSE vs real NBA dunkers.  Kung ano gawin nitong mga street ballers na ito gagayahin ng mga NBA stars.  The participant gets to choose his NBA opponent.  I think that's exciting and interesting.

My suggestiion for the dunk contest:
1. Elimination round: Give each player about 5 minutes to showcase different dunks
2. Don't show the judges scores until the end of the elims.
3. 2 highest scores in the elims will face in the finals. one dunk each. viewers and judges get to vote.

2015 NBA All-Star Game Starters announced:

East: John Wall, Kyle Lowry, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Pau Gasol

West: Steph Curry (top vote-getter), Kobe Bryant, Blake Griffin, Anthony Davis, Marc Gasol

Congrats to the Gasol brothers!

My picks for the reserves (2 backcourt, 3 frontcourt and 2 more regardless of position):

East: Kemba Walker, Jeff Teague, Jimmy Butler, Chris Bosh, Nikola Vucevic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Rose

West: Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Klay Thompson, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMarcus Cousins, Damian Lillard, Kevin Durant

It's likely that Kobe won't be able to play due to injury, so Harden will probably replace him as a starter and another top player in the West will be added as a reserve. Meron pa bang may "Marcus" sa pangalan? :D

EDIT: Pati pala si LaMarcus Aldridge, injured (6-8 weeks).

Bro you forgot about Paul Millsap or you intentionally did not include him? Si Conley nga pala...during the first couple of months in the season, I actually thought he was a shoo-in All Star as well as Monta Ellis.  Parang lumamig na laro nila.  Sa West kasi if you are a guard, you have to really stand out to get picked.

Si Millsap sana instead of Vucevic (awful team) ang pipiliin ko .kaso 3 na ang Hawks. Kulang sa sentro ang east, tsaka nag-all star na last year si Millsap., kaya si Vucevic na lang muna.

Grabe ang West, baka di pa makasali si Klay o si CP3.  :o

I also got the league pass recently for a month. It is real awesome. I can watch almost all games and puede pa yun mga previous games pang replay. I will surely get the whole season. Sir just have a couple questions,

1. I got the monthly pass, how come sa settings ko on packages it says yun full pass says purchased already. Sa monthly package it also says purchased. Im confused. Is this really monthly renewal i got or is it an automatic renewal monthly therefore will be a full season pass? I dont think nakamali ako sa purchase na monthly dapat because I want to try it out muna.

2. I have been watching on my samsung tab s, i dont have a smart tv, can i watch this on my led tv, where i just connect it thru a usb to my tv? Also If you have a smart tv, can you watch league pass straight on this tv?

Thanks

^the most important lines in that story is that:

"Here’s the big catch: The Lakers didn’t have a 2010 first rounder. They traded it a couple years prior to get Pau Gasol, a deal that worked out very well for Los Angeles."

In fact, their pick that year was number 43. Couldn't have promised to draft him in the first round.

dealing that pick to get Gasol paid out with 3 finals appearances and 2 championships. a deal of a lifetime if you ask the other teams who havent won anything yet let alone appear in a finals.

tumabla lang pala si Klay Thompson kay Caidic sa 37-point 3rd quarter nya ... Caidic did it enroute to a 79-point performance in 1991 ... he totaled 17 3-point shot that night, and only entered the game late in the 1st quarter and went out of the game mid 4th quarter

and playing an exhibition game against NBA legends at the age of 47, he still managed to score 54 points

Drafted in the 2nd round by the Kings in 2010. Waived in 2012.
Played overseas. Signed and waived by the Grizzlies in 2014.

Scouts probably overlooked him because the "*Thabeet" effect. Nung nag-bust si Thabeet, medyo hesistant na ang mga NBA team na mag-draft ng mga super raw big men early in the draft. And the Kings gave up on him too early because he wasn't locked up on a guaranteed 1st rd contract.

*Thabeet effect
Rudy Gobert (projected as late lottery) fell to the Jazz at pick 27 in 2013. Drummond (top 3 prospect) dropped to the Pistons at #9 in 2012. This year, it's Capela to the Rockets at #25. Usually, even guys like Daniel Orton (#29 in 2010) will be gone much earlier in the draft.

How so?  Bosh is averaging 21ppg, 7rpg, a player efficiency rating of 21.0...his highest rating since he was a Raptor, 3pt% of 37%, true shooting % of 56% and defensive rebs % of 22%.  Those are All Star numbers.

I agree he's having a very good season so far despite missing a few games, but if you take a look at his All Star game stats, they are quite dismal. I don't think he gives his best during the All Star games. Probably worried about getting injured.

At the Centre position, IMHO, he won't match up well with the behemoths of the West - Gasol, Cousins and Davis. He plays more like a F than a C. He only averages 7.5 RPG. I think Kevin Love is a better choice despite the lower PPG.

But aren't all star selections based on first half regular season performance?  So all star stats aren't really relevant in the selection of all stars.  How can Kevin Love be a better replacement?  His ppg is down by 9 ave pts, has a FG% OF 42%(Bosh-47%), 3pt% of 33% (Bosh-37%), 2pt FG% of 49% (Bosh-50%), PER of 18.8(Bosh-20.5).

If you're worried about Bosh at the center position, what more Love replacing Bosh and going up against Gasol, Cousins and Davis.  Defensively Love is giving up 7.5FGs/game(Bosh-6.2), 15FGAs/game(Bosh-13.2), 50.3%FG%/game(Bosh-47.2%), and the difference an opponent's FG% versus when Love is guarding him +3.1%(Bosh-+0.7%).  So basically Love is more of a disadvantage defensively versus Bosh.

Technically, reserves are not selected based on pure performance. They are selected by the Conference coaches with the All Star coach probably having the last say. Which is why you have major performers like Lillard crying "snub."

My main reason really for saying that Bosh has no business there is is historical performance in the ASG. Yes, stats-wise he's a shoe in, but the ASG is the game for the fans. Bosh just doesn't bring it like the others. A waste of roster space if you ask me. Give it to someone else who's going to have fun and entertain.

Let's see though on All Star Weekend... I might eat my words.

But coaches actually do base their choices on 1st half performance. Yun starters ang hindi kasi nga fan voting. No favoratism there as coaches can't choose their own players. They don't base it on past all star game performance.  Also the All star coach doesn't have a last say on who gets selected.  But he does have the option of choosing who to start in case a starter gets injured.  Llilard is crying snub because it's the West and the Western Conference has a glut of all star PGs all of whom are deserving as well like Lillard.

Yes the All Star game is for the fans. That is why they are allowed to vote whom to start. But reserves are chosen by coaches who believe theIr performance during the first half of fhe season merit a selection.

I agree with you that given everything, he deserves to be an all star. Coaches can select him based on what he's delivered. I am saying that Bosh should acknowledge that and bring his A game this time.

That's kind of weak and illogical.  Everyone is on the list. So what are the chances that a player on the list gets picked?  100%.  And you did say "...... still influenced by the next players who got the higher number of votes."  So next players who got the higher number of votes.  So when you say next.... yun susunod di ba? Kaso the next players who got the higher number of votes were not necessarily picked.  Damian Llilard nga, Marcin Gortat and Derrick Rose.  Those who got picked were not the next players who got the higher number of votes like Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap, Al Horford, Westbrook, Thompson.  Thus you are contradicting your earlier statement.

If you get chosen to be an all star and you were 50th in voting, that is still high considering there are hundreds of players.  Horford at 11th is not really high considering only 3 frontcourt players are chosen as starters.  If you get chosen and you happen to be 100th in voting.  So that's still high because how many players are in the NBA?  More than 400?

to simplify, a coach would not pick Swaggy P or Jeremy Lin since they are nowhere near the top of most votes garnered ... would you think a coach would pick someone who is no. 100 in the voting when the All Star Game is supposed to be more of a fan appreciation game? ... technically you're right but realistically they wouldn't do it, hence I'm saying that it is still vote driven

You took it literally masyado bro.   :D  I was exaggerating to make a point.  But you still contradicted your initial post na reserves are chosen BASED ON THE NEXT HIGHER VOTES.  That's not true.  So you widen the new parameters.

But ok let's go with the new parameters you set.... I am willing to bet that next year's all star reserves will come from the top 20 vote getters(both guards & frontcourt).  So what do you think my batting average would be?  100% right?   ;D

My point is so simple, not sure why you are complicating and arguing about it - "All star selection is mainly due to fan votes", hence reserves would still come from those with high votes ... if the coach takes a reserve that is not very popular in voting and bypasses deserving stars, he will be in trouble ... didn't you see who were taken in as reserves this year, and in previous years? - they got the reserves from those with higher votes ... how could that be illogical?  you are interpreting my statement as it is automatic that the reserves would be taken in the next order of the highest number of votes, and that's not what i mean because I know that the coach can select the reserves - my point is that it is pointless for a coach to select a reserve that is so far out from the voting as this is not drafting, just a one game affair for the fans ... didn't you see the fan and player reaction when someone like Lillard was not selected? why would a coach get himself in trouble for a one-game exhibition by selecting someone not in the range of highest vote list?

passed by the NBA shop at Glorietta this afternoon, just wanted to check pricing if it is near the US shop prices, and also to check available San Antonio Spurs merchandise ... to my surprise, not a single San Antonio Spurs jersey available, and they are the defending champions - buti pa Brooklyn and Minnesota merong available ... daming teams ang walang merchandise

baka ubos na.. Haha..

Then let's get back to your original assertion.....
but the selections for reserves is still influenced by the next players who got the higher number of votes
Pero sabi mo hindi yun ang minimean mo. You meant NOT the next players who got the higher number of votes but reserves wouldn't have to be picked in order of voting.  So hindi na siya yun NEXT but NOT IN ORDER na.
that's actually what I mean, reserves wouldn't have to be picked in order of voting, but to be part of the selection, you still need to be on the list that received high votes

Then why make an assertion at all if it's considered inevitable in nature?  I can say nga....
1.    Next year's all star game will include players from the guard and frontcourt that is in the Top 20 in voting.
2.    Teams with the most wins in the East and West will have at least 1 representative in next year's all star game.
 So what would be my batting average nga for those 2 assertions?  Di ba 100%?  :D

If ganun yun assertion mo bro... then I agree with you.  No arguments here then.  ;D

Wow. This year's 3-point contest at the All-Star weekend is STACKED !

Curry, Thompson, Korver, Harden, Irving, Matthews, Redick & defending champ Belinelli.

That's a dream lineup right there ..... though, Harden is obviously there just for added star-power - many other deserving shooters e.g. Beal.

I'd pick either Korver, Redick (if injury-free) or Belinelli to win it ...... IMO rhythm & iso-shooters like Harden, Irving & Curry will find it hard to win in such a contest.

Ang galing nga bro.  I'm picking from Belinelli, Curry and Korver.  Do you think Redick would do well?  Parang tingin ko he really uses his legs to jump to release his shots.  Baka early rounds kaya pa.  Yun succeeding pagod na.  Usually yata yun mga more or less mga set shots shooters nananalo.

^^that's the real marquee event of the all-star game  :D

Lat year, the finalists of the event (Beal and Bellinelli) were both 1st and 2nd place respectively in "catch and shoot 3p%" via NBA stat tracking. Catch and shoot 3p%  a good predictor of 3-pt shootout success. They do better than "pull up shooters" like Curry and Thompson.

This year Korver is leading all contestants in both "catch and shoot" and "pull-up" shooting percentage (Korver rarely attempts pull-up 3s). If I were to put money in the event, I'd bet on Korver's historically efficient shooting year. But since I'm a GS fan, I'm rooting for Thompson or Curry  ;D

Indeed, Redick uses some hop to get that shot off - though, fatigue wasn't a problem for past smallish participants e.g. Kerr, Price, Hodges, etc.

Dunno, just feel that Redick is primed to win this event - hope he's injury free when the event comes.

As for Curry, like I said, I don't think that iso-shooters would do well in the contest ...... these guys are scorers, they need that rhythm before they get that shot off - hence, IMO Harden won't do well in this event.

Almost everyone, I think, is rooting for Korver - aside from the HAWKS great season, Korver has paid his dues in the NBA and just missed out on ASG spot ....... it'll be a nice story if he wins the 3-point shootout.

Either Korver or Knight would make a good replacement should Wade miss out due to injury ...... it's just that Korver is the more popular choice due to the HAWKS season.

Anyone would want to start a friendly bet / poll for the 3-point shootout ??

Korver kasi ako should Wade be unable to play.  Unlike kasi yun Pistons before, early forecasts had the hawks as a 6th seed.  Not 1st.  Kaya I think Korver deserves a slot as well.

Korver siguro ako bro newwaveboy. :)

Edit: Sumali pala si MJ sa 3 pt shootout dati. He only scored 5 pts -- fewest pts. ever in 3Pt shootout history (tied w/ Detlef). Durant only scored 6 pts when he joined.

EDIT: GSW v. ATL live now on NBA Premium. Pretty good game so far. First time to see a Hawks game this year :) Just realized that GSW has a pretty solid bench. Nothing is lost in terms of speed and defensive intensity when the starters sit. Waiting for the Korver-Klay shootout...

As expected, this ATL-GSW game is da bomb ....... both teams showing why they lead the NBA standings.

Great offense and defense from both teams - down the line, from starters to bench guys.

Budenholzer (and Ferry) has made the HAWKS into a clone of the SPURS ...... the way the SPURS Parker has the freedom to run the offense, so does the HAWKS Teague.

Everybody else knows his exact spot on the offensive end.

Assuming they win it all, indeed that 2004 PISTONS is probably the closest thing to these HAWKS ...... the only difference, these HAWKS came from nowhere - unheralded on a very weak East.

Their style of play can take them deep into the playoffs - where the games slooooow down considerably.

sa west naman, masyadong mababa ang forecast nila sa grizzlies. nakalimutan nila na na-injure si gasol kaya bumaba sa standings ang grizzlies.

Same here. Cant recall such an unheralded team placing this high on the standings, this point of the season.

Still many games to play though ..... hope the injury bug doesn't hit these HAWKS.

Sorry WARRIORS fans, I have this nagging feeling that Bogut or some other oft-injured player, is due for a stint on the injured list ....... history and statistics are against the defensive-stalwart Bogut being healthy for a good part of a season. Same with other bigs, like Nene, Lee, etc.

Truth be told though, I never expected my Hawks to be this good this year. I really thought that their initial streaks this was just a fluke especially when they had a mediocre start like the usual. But damn, look at them now! Their chemistry really took off when Horford rejoined the roster.

Like I said, kapag nawala si Bogut for a period of time, expect the WARRIORS defense to show cracks ....... good for them, if they closely watch his minutes.

Quote from: Zach Lowe
Clips are in toughest stretch of schedule. Not crazy to suggest they could go something like 3-10 in next 13 games. Playoff math gets tight.

That 13 games is about what Blake would miss if this is a 4-week recovery. Extend it to 6 weeks, and it obviously just gets uglier.

Meanwhile, Boston is sitting on the Clippers pick. Not sure who is giddier right now -- Ainge or @BillSimmons. Probably Simmons.

Natalo pala ng Grizzlies ang Hawks. I'll try to watch that game later.

Interesting to note that the Hawks also has the right to swap picks w/ the Nets. It's theoretically possible for them to win the championship and also get the #1 pick if the Nets end up in the lottery.

I find Westbrook to be one of the best open court / fast break finisher, but not one on one.  For one on one, I think DRose/Lillard/Kyrie/Curry are better?  But that's just me...

I think you are spot on. In the open court probably Westbrook is one of the best. But not in iso situations. Depends din on how you define one on one.... on the break, iso, post moves, backcourt only, swingmen or frontcourt.

Yup, Harden is probably among the top iso-players ...... you give him the ball on top of that freethrow line and watch him do that signature dribble left-right, then stepback shot. Deadly.

He's equally deadly on the break with that eurostep and drawing fouls with ease.

His only weakness is that great matador defense of his.  ;D

Happened to watch Westbrook's consecutive 45-pt and 48-pt games and I noted a similarity with Harden - both are cat quick, with the ability to out accelerate people who are unburdened with the ball while themselves handling the ball.  In those 2 games, Westbrook was out maneuvering 2 or 3 guards to the basket.  But yeah not really one on one ISO plays like Harden.

I don't think Curry is as quick as either but he is an absolute artist at handling that ball.

One on one ISO plays I think Irving is better than Westbrook.  But open court, Westbrook has the edge.  If kasama frontcourt players, Blake Griffin din either ISO or on the post is pretty good now that he has improved his perimeter shots and on occasion his 3.

Post by: rusty on Feb 11, 2015 at 03:25 PM
Yay! Korver totally deserves the nod!

Great analysis on Korver's impact by Zach Lowe of Grantland:
Quote
Korver is bound to be the most polarizing choice, though momentum for his candidacy is building. He doesn’t play “like an All-Star.” He shoots only eight times per game. He doesn’t get to the line. He has used only 14.5 percent of Atlanta’s possessions, one of the lowest rates ever for a potential All-Star. Hell, just last season, I left both Lance Stephenson and Andre Drummond off my ballot in part because of their limited roles on offense.

    But we need different parameters for a guy putting up perhaps the greatest shooting season ever. Korver is shooting 53 percent on nearly six 3s per game. If you think all of those are wide-open jobs, you’re not watching the Hawks. Korver barely needs any airspace to flick off his quick release, and he’s shooting 47 percent — a number that could lead the league in some seasons — on 3s in which a defender is within four feet of him, per SportVU. I mean, I can barely process these numbers.

    When you can shoot like Korver, you don’t need the ball to be a defining figure on every offensive possession.

    Take two examples from Atlanta’s most recent game, its win Sunday against Minnesota.

    Video  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ihG940-hPY)

    Horford gets an uncontested dunk at the end of this pick-and-roll because the help defender on the weak side, Andrew Wiggins, never arrives to challenge Horford in the paint. Startling fact: Wiggins is guarding Korver.

    The Hawks botch this play, but watch what happens when Korver rubs off a DeMarre Carroll screen on the left side:

    Video
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxCJHRppCkY)
    Both Wiggins and Thaddeus Young chase Korver, leaving Carroll free to cut into an open 2-on-1. Korver did not touch the ball on either of these possessions. They leave no trace on most statistical measures of his impact. But he’s a crucial figure in each one, and this kind of stuff happens all the time. He inspires panic in opposing defenses, and panic breeds both mistakes and paralysis.

    Korver has the best plus/minus of all non-Warriors. He is the common denominator in damn near every productive Atlanta lineup.

    Carmelo Anthony is a better basketball player than Korver, but we should reconsider how large that gap might be. Rule changes over the last decade have pushed coaches to evolve on both ends of the floor. Ball movement and spacing are more important than ever; holding the ball has never been a riskier proposition. Anthony is one of the rare players who can still stand around with the ball and center a viciously productive offense. The ability to score one-on-one and from the post will always have value, especially if the player doing it is a skilled passer.

    But the difference in value between those glamour skills and what Korver does — shooting, running around, making smart cuts — is shrinking. Korver “can’t create his own shot,” the lazy catchall for what constitutes an All-Star, but there’s much more than that to being a good NBA player in 2015.

Because whoever trades for him (Dragic) will very likely get a verbal commitment from him, to re-sign during the offseason ...... moreso, if the team was one of the three teams that Dragic preferred - MIA, LAL & NYK.

==========================================================================

Have to agree with most beat writers, OKC had a great day ........ Reggie Jackson was sure as gone & Perkins has been "invisible" for a long time now, so get the most out of them, which they did.

PHX will now be hard-pressed to hold on to that 8th spot in the West ....... if PHX slips and OKC gets that 8th spot and face #1 GSW at the playoffs - my money's with OKC.

I think they're worth it. Wade's on his last legs, but his legacy contract (2 yrs/30M) is not even that bad. The Dragic trade was executed by Riley for Wade to extend his title window. It's a worthwhile gamble.

And The 2016-17 salary cap is reportedly gonna balloon up to around $90M because of the new TV deal. The rise in cap space is gonna mitigate the risk of potentially signing Dragic to a max contract next year.

Their real issues:
1.) Whiteside is gonna be an UFA in 2016.
2.) Wala na silang masyadong draft pick.

Out for the season na si Chris Bosh. At least the team is saying his prognosis for full recovery is good. Huge setback though for Miami's post-season run this year, even with Dragic.

Also read that there's now a possibility for Miami to sign Andray Blatche.

Very bad luck for the DRose and the BULLS ...... and the fans as well. A healthy DRose doing his thing, is good for the entire league.

Though, I just cant ignore the fact that Thibs is still hard-headed when it comes to playing time management - he still works his key people even if the game outcome is all but decided.

Starters are kept on the court, even if their lead is huge in the closing minutes of the game ...... this is the one big knock on Thibs.

Speaking of the Bulls, something's just not clicking with that team this year. The Bulls are usually a top 5 defensive team in the Thibs era, now they're only slightly above average.

As a Lakers fan, I don't know whether I should be happy or terrified about this possibility. I'm leaning towards the latter, especially if it's a max contract (which I think, Rondo no longer deserves).

In the meantime, I am almost afraid that the Lakers will lose their pick. 3 wins in a row now. Why lessen the odds of keeping the pick by continuing to win???? This is senseless.

And the funny thing about this ...... all of these clowns ran the triangle offense at one time or another.

Like many basketball legends had said, the triangle only works if you have superstar players.

Steve Kerr played under Phil Jackson (and Popovich), but as a coach, he hardly runs any triangle and gives much leeway to Curry to run the offense - Curry is unleashed and is now a bonafide MVP candidate ....... it's Pop's system which Kerr obviously embraced.

Now, Phil Jackson is getting exposed by the day ...... probably his only accomplishment with the KNICKS is getting cap space and losing enough that he's guaranteed a high draft pick. His latest disciple, Fisher is running the triangle and is proving to be an epic failure.

It might also be the reason why Phil Jackson is somewhat famous for never taking teams that are in "transition" or upstarts.  Yun gusto niya yun ready made teams na.  Another reason why his assistants aren't as successful is Phil is not the inventor of the triangle.  He himself is a disciple as well.

What goes down on the record books is still the number of times he coached a team to win the gold. Not the number of assistants that became good in the same field. He had no control whatsoever on that so why take it against the guy.

Indeed, Phil Jackson has NEVER coached an upstart team - even after multiple huge offers from other teams, during the post-Bulls years e.g. NJ NETS

Lookit here ..... back when the LAKERS snagged Nash & Howard to form a big three with Kobe , Phil Jackson "suddenly" became very interested and was willing to coach the LAKERS again. Unfortunate for him that Buss picked D' Antoni over him.

More than a year later, he cited health reasons, when he was unwilling to coach a KNICKS team (even in a weak Eastern Conference) and just wanted to be the team president. Kita mo nga naman.  ;)

That's been the biggest knock on him ...... even from his coaching counterparts e.g. Larry Brown

Like I've posted many times here, Phil Jackson is a good coach, preaches good defense and player accountability - but he's far from being the greatest coach in basketball.

What goes down on the record books is still the number of times he coached a team to win the gold. Not the number of assistants that became good in the same field. He had no control whatsoever on that so why take it against the guy.

But stats, rings and records dont always tell the complete story - if it does, then Robert Horry, is a greater player than Michael Jordan ....... or a guy with rings, like Joel Anthony, being greater than those with zero rings, like Malone, Barkley, Ewing, etc.

IMO a head coach entails many functions; among others, you're a tactician, motivator & a teacher as well.

Phil Jackson has had many contemporaries, who had also coached in the NBA for a looooong time ...... yet most of these contemporaries, like Riley, Popovich, Brown, etc has spawned very many successful head coaches, bearing the same or similar coaching styles and have won championships, contended or at the very least, had winning records.

Phil Jackson also had his share longtime assistants who went on to coach their own teams - yet not one of them turned out a winning record and not one of them showed a working triangle offense ....... anyone can watch a handful of KNICKS games and see the clumsy mess that D. Fisher calls his triangle offense.

There's a quote, "if you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it" ...... it's very likely that Phil Jackson shared his with his many assistants - yet no positive results from any of them (count D.Fisher and Lindsey Hunter on that failure tree as well).

So what if none of his former assistants turn out to be winners. His job as a coach back then was to coach a team and not to teach assistants. He still holds the record for the coach with most number of titles in NBA history, they can't argue with that so they look at his assistants. Now, his Knicks job will determine if he has more than just coaching skills.

Don't know how tight the 89-90 race was, but this year's is incredibly tight.

Curry and Harden are neck-and-neck for it, Chris Paul and Anthony Davis close behind, with Westbrook and Lebron also making a case for themselves.

I'm not seeing Gasol in the race though. But among those ^ 6 above, it's really close.

4. Magic Johnson over Charles Barkley, 1990
In the closest NBA vote since the media took over the voting in 1981, Johnson edged Barkley by 22 points, even though Barkley received more first-place votes (38 to 27). Barkley averaged 25.2 points and 11.5 rebounds and shot 60 percent from the field. Johnson averaged 22.3 points, 11.5 assists and 6.6 rebounds (while shooting 48 percent). Barkley's Sixers won 53 games while the Lakers won 63. Oh yeah -- Michael Jordan averaged 33.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists and finished third in the voting.

Bakaw pa rin yan si Westbrook. Magaling nga lang na bakaw.

His usage rate this season is 38.4% and rising, good for 2nd highest of all time. 48% in the last 5 games!

Highest usage rate ever was 38.74% --  Kobe's 2005-06 (81 pts) season.

usage% -   an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor.

I like Miami's chances. They keep finding good guys. Aside from Hassan Whiteside, I'm pretty impressed with their new pickup, Tyler Johnson. Plays smart and scores very well. Yun lang medyo undersized for a shooting guard.

(https://i.imgur.com/XuY5ZkJ.png)

I think Indiana is definitely gonna make it, they're just playing really well since the return of George Hill (13-4). They might even make it higher than the 7th seed with the way the Wiz and the Bucks are slumping. Hill's having somewhat of a comeback year. He's definitely a better player without Lance cannibalizing his production.

Charlotte's a really good defensive team, I think they're gonna take the 8th slot especially with the impending return of Kemba.

Ideally, i'd like to see the Heat end up at #7 and the Cavs end up at #2. That would would make for a very interesting matchup.  ;D

Maybe less touches for Love and no plays designed for him. At Minnesota, he was the go to guy. With the Cavs, with LBJ & Irving, he's just support. Same thing happened to Wade & Bosh when LBJ was still in MIA. Baka Wala nang gana si K-Love.

I'd rather keep rebuilding for the future. Love and Rondo will not bring in championships for the Lakers with an aging Kobe as the 3rd piece.

Clarkson, Randle and either Karl Towns or Deangelo Russell + 3 other picks should be the building blocks for the Lakers going into the future. There is also an expected huge cap increase in 2016 so it is in their best interest to maintain flexibility until the offseason of 2016 (Kobe's huge contract finall comes of the book then).

But mainly, I wanna see the young players develop.

Love just needs to find his role on the team and distinguish himself.  Same case rin naman with Bosh.  But Bosh thrived even though he is likewise the third option.  Maybe be the best rebounder in the league.  Stats of 16-15 as the third option are still all star numbers specially in the East.

If Durant and Ibaka return for the playoffs and Russ would continue to assist the way he is now then most probably they would have given GSW a run for their money, but with Durant officially out and Ibaka still in rehab, I have serious doubts that OKC can even win 2 games vs. an in tune GSW.

I'd favor OKC in a 7-game series with GSW, shoukd OKC somehow get back its starters in time for the playoffs.

Now that KD's been confirmed out and no Ibaka, GSW now has the easiest 1st round series in the West.

======================================================

If I were the DAL, I'd consider tanking myself to an 8th seed in the West - GSW just might be the "easier" playoff matchup compared to MEM.

Not to belittle GSW, it's actually a high-risk, high-reward gamble based on some analytics ...... a slow and grinding team like MEM is built for the playoffs, while there's the slim possibility that GSW will get the noobie blues and cant react to the slow pace of the playoffs.

Of course, there's the possibility that GSW will just run roughshod over anyone in the 1st two playoff rounds.  ;D

Of Course :) Pop has flicked the "playoff mode" switch :)

The Spurs will always be a dangerous playoff team with Pop, Tim, Tony, Manu and now Kawhi.....

Hopefully, they go for a 1st repeat, hard to do but not really impossible. hehehe

OT: NCAA Final Four Capsule Previews (AP)

Michigan State v. Duke
Tip-Off 6:09 AM (PH time), 5 April

Michigan State Spartans

Conference: Big Ten.
Region: East. Seed: No. 7.
Key Players: Travis Trice (15.3 ppg, 5.1 apg); Denzel Valentine (14.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg); Branden Dawson (11.9 ppg, 9.1 rpg)

The Skinny: Coach Izzo has a .742 (46-16) winning percentage in NCAA Tournament action and has led the Spartans to seven Final Fours including the 2000 national championship. Izzo is 13-9 when facing a higher seed. The Spartans have 11 losses, four more than the other three teams combined. This is the third straight year one conference has had two teams in the Final Four with Wisconsin and Michigan State coming from the Big Ten. MSU lost to Duke, 81-71, on November 18.

Duke Blue Devils

Conference: Atlantic Coast.
Region: South. Seed: No. 1.
Key Players: Jahlil Okafor (17.5 ppg, 8.7 rpg); Quinn Cook (15.5 ppg, 2.7 apg); Justise Winslow (12.5 ppg, 6.3 rpg); Tyus Jones (11.6 ppg, 5.7 apg)

The Skinny: Coach Krzyzewski is making his 12th Final Four appearance, tying the legendary John Wooden. Coach K is tied with Adolph Rupp for second in titles with four. Duke is the only team in Division I with three freshmen averaging in double figures (Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones). Okafor is Duke's 16th first-team Associated Press' All-America and is the Blue Devils' second freshman in as many years, with Jabari Parker being chosen last season.

---

Kentucky v. Wisconsin
Tip-Off 8:49 AM (PH time), 5 April

Kentucky Wildcats

Conference: Southeastern.
Region: Midwest. Seed: No. 1.
Key Players: Aaron Harrison (11.0 ppg, 3.6 apg); Devin Booker (10.1 ppg); Karl-Anthony Towns (10.0 ppg, 6.6 rpg); Willie Cauley-Stein (9.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg)

The Skinny: Kentucky is the first undefeated team to reach the Final Four since UNLV in 1991. Wildcats are two wins away from becoming the first undefeated national champion since Indiana in 1976. Kentucky win over Wisconsin in last year's national semifinal came down to a big jumper by Aaron Harrison with 5.7 seconds left. Willie Cauley-Stein is the first first-team AP All-America to average less than 10 points per game.

Wisconsin Badgers

Conference: Big Ten.
Region: West. Seed: No. 1.
Key Players: Frank Kaminsky (18.7 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 2.7 apg); Sam Dekker (13.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg); Nigel Hayes (12.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg)

The Skinny: Wisconsin is 23-13 in the NCAA tournament under Bo Ryan. The Badgers have the highest free-throw percentage (76.4) of the Final Four teams. All the coaches in this year's Final Four except Ryan, who made his Final Four debut last year at age 66, have won a national championship. Duke's Mike Krzyzewski has four titles, Michigan State's Tom Izzo won it all in 2000, while John Calipari took the title with Kentucky in 2012. Kaminsky, the 7-foot senior, was a unanimous choice on The Associated Press' All-America team.

something for the Warriors to think about. The Spurs know how to win when they want it. I believe a lot of the Spurs losses this year is due to precautionary measures to key personnel by the organization. They have been playing this championship quest for so long that they are toying already with the regular season schedule. Finishing with the best record in a regular season doesn't mean anything to them.

Now is the time to win for them...not during November to February.

I've been following the Spurs every game this year, 4 or 5 of their losses were on OT, which they could have won easily on regulation time if not for silly mistakes or missed free throws ... Spurs also benched key players on several occasions just to rest their players, one notable game was their first against Houston in which they benched the big three and Kawhi was still out on injury at that time ... they could easily be on the no. 2 spot and very close to GS if not for those losses ... they still manage to have a very good record even with their key players missing a lot of games ... if they can have Splitter back before the playoffs, they would be a difficult team to beat on the playoffs

There was a stretch during the regular season wherein the Spurs hit a rough patch when they lost in several triple OT matches and some losses to forgetable teams.

My money is still with the Spurs despite the emergence of the Warriors young guns this year. Call me sentimental but i'd like the Spurs to win it one more time for Timmy, Manu and Pop and then they all can retire together. Let the entire NBA world wonder how it feels to win 6 titles and then retire as a Champion.

Westbrook probably secured the NBA scoring title w/ his 54 pt performance against the Pacers.
He also received his 16th tech of the year. Automatic suspension unless the league rescinds the call.

Congrats to the Bucks for clinching a playoff spot! They were the worst team in the league last year and they doubled their winning total by the All-Star break without any significant roster upgrades. Kidd deserves some 3rd place COTY votes. He was my pick pre- All-Star break.

Nakakawindang yung mga tiebreaker scenarios  :o

As for the Pelicans, they starting to look more formidable than some of the higher seeded teams.

Records since all-star break:
NO - 16-11 (jrue and ryno just came back from injuries, quincy and cole are worthy roster additions)
MEM - 15-12 (conley-foot problems, gasol-ankle, green-lower back, not quite fitting in)
POR - 15-12 (matthews/wright-out for the season, afflalo -shoulder , aldridge - thumb/foot, kaman/batum/lopez- nagging injuries)
DAL - 13-12 (rondo!)

Injuries. Hindi lang sina Bosh at Mcbob. Wade/Deng/Whiteside/Dragic/Napier also missed their share of games. Yung matchup nila vs Philly today will be a tankfest. Both teams will likely be aiming to lose for their 2015 draft pick. Philly will get Miami's pick if falls outside the top 10.

April 19 ang playoffs. If they end up w/ the 3rd worst record, they could end up as low as #6 in the draft.

Battle for the West 8th seed - basically, this is a question of "can the Pelicans beat the Spurs?" coz the Thunder will have an easy time with the Wolves. On the other hand, the Pelicans will be up against the Spurs who are trying to keep their 2nd seed position. If only matatalo Houston by the Jazz  (very unlikely) then the Spurs could probably relax. But no chance of that happening.

Let's see how tough the Pelicans are.

Post by: Wiggum on Apr 17, 2015 at 04:53 AM
From the Associated Press:

A look at the eight first-round series in the NBA playoffs:

___

EASTERN CONFERENCE


No. 1 ATLANTA HAWKS (60-22) vs. No. 8 BROOKLYN NETS (38-44)

Season Series: Hawks, 4-0. Atlanta led by at least 14 in every game, once by as much as 39. Brooklyn never led any of the four games by more than eight points.

Story Line: Can Atlanta do it in the playoffs? Much has been made of the culture change Mike Budenholzer has engineered, but note this — the Hawks haven’t won two playoff series in the same year since 1958, when they were in St. Louis.

Key Matchup 1: Kyle Korver vs. Joe Johnson. Both can get sizzling hot, and Brooklyn’s only hope is probably that Johnson finds a way to thwart his former team. Korver shot 49 percent from 3-point range this season; he’s only a 39 percent shooter from beyond the arc in his playoff career.

Key Matchup 2: Jeff Teague vs. Deron Williams. Atlanta is 50-13 when Teague has four turnovers or less. Williams saw his scoring drop for the third straight year, and he struggled with his shot in his three appearances against Atlanta this season.

X-Factor: Brook Lopez. He’s only played in the playoffs once before, but averaged 22.3 points in a seven-game loss to Chicago in 2013.

Prediction: Hawks in 5.

___

No. 2 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (53-29) vs. No. 7 BOSTON CELTICS (40-42)

Season Series: Tied, 2-2. It’s slightly misleading; both of Boston’s wins came in the final days of the regular season when Cleveland’s spot on the East bracket was already secured. Both teams went 1-1 on the other’s home floor.

Story Line: LeBron James, back with the Cavaliers, back in the playoffs, back against the Celtics. Of course. Boston ended James’ first run with Cleveland in 2010, remember. So how perfect is it that James’ second quest to deliver a title to championship-starved Northeast Ohio starts with Boston?

Key Matchup 1: Kyrie Irving vs. Marcus Smart. Boston is a big longshot in this series, but if Smart can find a way to keep Irving in some sort of check, the Celtics will give the Cavaliers some headaches.

Key Matchup 2: Tristan Thompson vs. Isaiah Thomas. No, they won’t be guarding each other, but their roles are huge. Thomas is explosive off Boston’s bench, while Thompson finds himself pulling many duties in his role as Cleveland’s go-to sub.

X-Factor: Kevin Love. Like Irving, he’s making his long-awaited postseason debut. He’ll have to learn fast what this time of year is all about.

Prediction: Cavaliers in 5.

___

No. 3 CHICAGO BULLS (50-32) vs. No. 6 MILWAUKEE BUCKS (41-41)

Season Series: Bulls, 3-1. Chicago held Milwaukee to 87 points or less in all three wins, and neither team scored more than 95 points in any of the four games.

Story Line: Welcome back to the playoffs, Derrick Rose. He blew out a knee in Game 1 of Chicago’s 2012 loss to Philadelphia and hasn’t seen the floor in a postseason game since. He’s shown flashes of great things since coming back late this season. The Bulls absolutely need him at a high level, or else.

Key Matchup 1: Jimmy Butler vs. Khris Middleton. Butler has been great for Chicago all season, a true Most Improved Player candidate. Middleton keeps steadily getting better, was part of just 15 wins last year and now is a go-to option for the Bucks.

Key Matchup 2: Pau Gasol vs. Zaza Pachulia. Gasol led the NBA in double-doubles this season. Pachulia is a playoff veteran, but will have his hands full.

X-Factor: Tom Thibodeau. Bulls have lost eight of their last nine playoff games under Thibodeau, whose job security might hinge on Chicago going deep in these playoffs.

Prediction: Bulls in 5.

___

No. 4 TORONTO RAPTORS (49-33) vs. No. 5 WASHINGTON WIZARDS (46-36)

Season Series: Raptors, 3-0. One of the wins was in overtime and another went down to the buzzer, but out of the first 103 minutes where the teams went head-to-head this season the Raptors trailed for all of 23 seconds.

Story Line: Will this be the breakthrough for the Raptors? They’ve never won a best-of-seven series and have been past the first round only once, back when those were best-of-five matchups.

Key Matchup 1: Kyle Lowry vs. John Wall. Two of the elite point guards in the game. Lowry could have left Toronto last summer and didn’t; Wall shot just 37 percent in last year’s playoffs for Washington and needs to improve that number.

Key Matchup 2: Jonas Valanciunas vs. Marcin Gortat. They’re almost identical; both European, both virtually the same height and weight, both shot 57 percent this year and averaged about 12 points and 9 rebounds per game.

X-Factor: Paul Pierce. He helped Brooklyn win a Game 7 in Toronto last year, and his recollections of that series should be invaluable to the Wizards now.

Prediction: Wizards in 7.

___

WESTERN CONFERENCE

No. 1 GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (67-15) vs. No. 8 NEW ORLEANS PELICANS (45-37)

Season Series: Warriors, 3-1. Golden State won the two games on its home floor with ease, one by 27 and the other by 16. New Orleans won the last meeting, earlier this month.

Story Line: Leading MVP candidate Stephen Curry goes against the league’s unquestioned budding megastar in Anthony Davis. And the Pelicans will play like they have nothing to lose.

Key Matchup 1: Draymond Green/Andrew Bogut vs. Davis. Green figures to get the bulk of the defensive workload here and is going to have his hands full, obviously. If Davis gets rolling, the Warriors will have cause for worry. Some cause, anyway.

Key Matchup 2: Curry/Klay Thompson vs. Tyreke Evans/Eric Gordon. The Pelicans actually did OK against the Warriors’ starry backcourt, holding them to a combined 43 percent shooting. They’ll have to do that again, or even better.

X-Factor: Norris Cole. Traded to New Orleans by Miami midseason, Cole has been in three previous postseasons — getting to the NBA Finals every time. And he’s quick enough to make Curry work, too.

Prediction: Warriors in 5.

___

No. 2 HOUSTON ROCKETS (56-26) vs. No. 7 DALLAS MAVERICKS (50-32)

Season Series: Rockets, 3-1. Don’t get too swayed by that. Combined score of those four games: Rockets 402, Mavericks 398. Dallas had double-digit leads in three of the games.

Story Line: James Harden missed out on the scoring title and will likely miss out on the MVP as well, but now gets a chance for something better. Harden has yet to get Houston past the first round, and his postseason career to date has been erratic at best.

Key Matchup 1: Jason Terry vs. Rajon Rondo. The Rockets went 8-3 down the stretch with Terry in the starting lineup. Rondo has been in 92 playoff games already, and though his tenure with Dallas hasn’t always been smooth he certainly knows how to win at playoff time.

Key Matchup 2: Tyson Chandler vs. Dwight Howard. There’s serious star power in this series, with Harden, Monta Ellis, Dirk Nowitzki and others. But Chandler and Howard will be vital. Some guys can get on scoring streaks; these two can get on rebound streaks.

X-Factor: Chandler Parsons. He was with the Rockets for his first three seasons, then took Dallas’ big-money offer last summer and so perhaps it’s fitting that paths cross now.

Prediction: Rockets in 6.

___

No. 3 LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (56-26) vs. No. 6 SAN ANTONIO SPURS (55-27)

Season Series: Tied, 2-2. Clippers won by 20 in San Antonio in January, before the Spurs found their end-of-season groove. Both teams went 1-1 on the other team’s floor.

Story Line: The best of the eight first-round matchups could very well be this one, pitting the defending champion Spurs against a Clippers team that’s still looking for that big postseason breakout. San Antonio rolled through the last third of its schedule, but now the question is whether the Spurs will be deflated by missing out on a chance to finish No. 2 in the West and falling to the 6 spot.

Key Matchup 1: Chris Paul vs. Tony Parker. They’ve gone head-to-head 43 times, and Paul has the better stats — but Parker and the Spurs have won 28 of those matchups.

Key Matchup 2: Blake Griffin vs. Tim Duncan. Anytime a pair of former No. 1 picks get together — Duncan from 1997, Griffin from 2009 — it’s going to be worth watching. Duncan’s next playoff game will be the 235th of his career, while Griffin has played in only 30.

X-Factor: Kawhi Leonard. Since the start of the 2013 playoffs, the Spurs are 131-43 when last year’s NBA Finals MVP is in their lineup.

Prediction: Spurs in 6.

___

No. 4 PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS (51-31) vs. No. 5 MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (55-27)

Season Series: Grizzlies, 4-0. Memphis held the high-octane Blazers to 91.3 points per game — more than 12 below their average output against everyone else.

Story Line: Portland gets the higher seed by winning the Northwest Division, but doesn’t have home-court because the Grizzlies had the better record. And both of these teams have serious injury concerns.

Key Matchup 1: LaMarcus Aldridge vs. Marc Gasol. Neither figures to totally muzzle the other, but the pressure will be on both of these bigs. Aldridge adding 3-point range this season will only add to Gasol’s challenge.

Key Matchup 2: Damian Lillard vs. Mike Conley. Much like Aldridge, Lillard has gotten his numbers (22.0 ppg) against the Blazers this season. And Conley missed the end of the regular season with a foot injury, so Lillard figures to put him to the test right away.

X-Factor: Tony Allen. He hasn’t played since late March because of a bad hamstring, and the Grizzlies will need their defensive ace.

Prediction: Grizzlies in 6.

Unibrow is scary good. After a rough 3 quarters (1 reb, 5 TOs), he scores 20 in the 4th. Cole and QPon were excellent for the Pels too.
Andaming mintis na ft ng GS sa crunch time. Nakakanerbyos yung final minutes. Tambak na sana ang Pels  3Q pa lang, nahabol pa.

Cavs, Hawks, maybe Bulls lang ang mga legit na team sa East.

Di ako masyadong kumpyansa sa Wizards. Didn't see game 2, but game 1 was a horrible game by both teams. Wiz won that game because the Raptors were more horrible than them.

Lowry's just banged up and hasn't been the same since February. And Casey just doesn't know how to adjust to the small-ball lineup of the Wiz with Pierce at the 4.

Si Rondo naman laos na, gusto ng umalis sa Dallas...Report: Rajon Rondo done in Dallas 'as long as the coach is back' (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25158643)

I wanted to believe that he'd recapture his old form when he got traded to a contending team , but he just hasn't been good for a long time now.

Today's NBA is about pace and space. Players who stall ball movement and can't shoot are major liabilities to their teams (Lance Stephenson, Pistons-era Josh Smith, Rajon Rondo)

On the one hand, seems like a knee-jerk reaction. Di naman nya kaslanan na puro injured players nya.

On the other hand, they are probably just looking for a shift in coaching style. Maybe Brooks isnt really tapping into his boys' full potential. But that certainly cant be said this year as they were battling injuries most of the time.

Hawks announce $850M sale, then bury Nets to 2-0 hole
http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/hawks-announce-850m-sale-then-bury-nets-to-2-0-hole

The Atlanta Hawks defeated Brooklyn 96-91 to take a 2-0 lead in their playoff series Wednesday, just hours after announcing the club’s sale to a group headed by US business tycoon Tony Ressler.

Paul Millsap paced the Hawks attack by scoring 19 points as the Eastern Conference regular-season champions held onto home court advantage in their best-of-seven first-round series.

The Hawks got a big boost from their perimetre shooters Wednesday. They drained 12-of-31 attempts from beyond the arc, while fighting off a late rally from the Nets to become the sixth NBA team during this postseason to claim a 2-0 lead in the first round of the postseason.

Millsap was a perfect four-for-four from the three-point line and seven-of-11 overall from the floor, Kyle Korver buried a trio of three pointers en route to 17 points and Jeff Teague hit a pair of triples while collecting 16 points and six assists.

“The three-point shot was working,” Millsap said. “I was wide-open on a lot of shots. The drive-and-kick helped us out a lot. I was able to get free a few times. It really started with the guards penetrating, getting me easy buckets.”

Prior to the game, the Hawks announced the sale of the franchise to a group headed by billionaire Ressler for a reported $850 million.

The new ownership group also includes seven-time NBA all-star Grant Hill. Nothing is official yet as the deal requires the approval of the NBA board of governors.

Al Horford led the inside attack for the Hawks despite playing with a dislocated finger. He tallied 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in addition to handing out seven assists.

“Honestly, once the game started, right from the beginning it went out the window,” said Horford of the injury. “I just went out there and played.”

Jarrett Jack tallied 23 points on nine-of-13 shooting for the eighth-seeded Nets, with Brook Lopez finishing with 20 points and Joe Johnson scoring 19 in the loss.

Brooklyn will seek to bounce back when the series shifts to Barclays Center for Saturday’s game three.

Rondo looks good on his first game with double-double performance.

Mainit ang game ng Celtics and Cavs kanina. 1st quarter pa lang injured na si Kevin Love, then daming hard fouls, sa last one minute lang medyo naging exciting dahil humabol ang C's.

Mavs offense looking really good since the exile of Rondo.
Quote
Mavericks' offensive rating in playoffs with Rajon Rondo: 92.0

Mavericks' offensive rating in playoffs without Rajon Rondo: 116.9

They had the best offensive efficiency rating of all time before the trade, but they became below average offensively with Rondo as their starter. The trade was an understandable gamble  since defense their improved a bit, but it's ultimately a failure. They could've kept Crowder/Wright and used the 1st/2nd rd pick to get another piece.


Did the Cavs make a heel turn?  >:D
I'm rooting for Chicago/Milwaukee against them.

tama yan, sir.

I think the Hawks lost their rhythm by resting their players too much in the last month of the regular season. They also have players suffering from nagging injuries in the playoffs (Horford-finger, Millsap-shoulder, Thabo-NYPD). I think they'll be fine if they keep relatively healthy.

On the other hand, the Nets needed stay sharp until the end of the season just to get get into the playoffs. 17-13 sila since the All-Star break, Thad Young trade was huge for them.

As the spurs would say it, the regular season means nothing come playoff time. They only want to win the last few games of the season so they enter with confidence and momentum.

The playoffs is taken one game at a time, if you think ahead, or cant get over your last game, you wont last long in the post season  :)

Nakaisa pa ang Blazers. They should try to finish the series strong to send a message to their upcoming free agents (Aldridge, Matthews, Lopez) that it's worth re-signing next year. Conley's out for weeks  (http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2015/04/report_memphis_grizzlies_mike_conley_undergoes_sur.html)(?) Maybe he can play with a mask once the swelling goes down.

I read somewhere that they have about $22M to offer either Aldridge/Gasol if they renounce cap holds on all free agents except Kawhi. No more Duncan/Ginobili and Green unless they sign minimum contracts -- almost total rebuilding na.

I don't think there's an issue retaining Duncan and Ginobili, unless they retire next season.  Green would be a tough one because he would likely get offers from other teams.

Team ball is a pleasure to watch.

Spurs kind of play made me interested watching basketball again, starting with their championship loss to the Heats two years ago, now I've followed all of their games this year ... you can watch repeatedly their championship games won against the Heats last year even though the games are blowouts because it was really fun to watch - beautiful game ika nga ... another thing with the Spurs team is that the players are showing no egos, no chest thumping, etc. ... comment nga daw ng Clippers is that the Spurs are the most quiet team that they play against - only thing you can hear from them on court is defense coordination

Personally, I also do not like the hack a Jordan strategy, I feel that it also affects the rhythm of the Spurs game, but I think that it is an effective strategy - not only that Jordan misses a lot of free throws, but it messes up the Clippers psychologically, messes up Jordan's and the coach's approach to the game.

Agree with those who say make your FTs. Why reward a player and his team with some kind of rule enhancement? Make your FTs. It's that simple.

Pop goes so deep into his tactics that he even went into playing the game of percentages. Now a player could miss one or 2 fts, then grab the defensive rebound, and hopefully make a basket. Not only did you prevent the opposing team from scoring, but you slowed the game to control the tempo and gave your players some rest, those might be only 1-2 minutes of rest, but in a hard fought game, that could mean a costly mental error in the end due to fatigue. We all know how rest is so crucial to the SAS success. Like I've said earlier, it could also work in favor of the opposing team, where he makes a ft, misses but grabs an offensive rebound. Missing the second FT and allowing the opponent to grab an offensive rebound immediately negates the Hack-a-whomever tactic.

^I'm guessing Love is gonna opt in now.

Memphis just eliminated Portland. I thought that the injury plagued Blazers were the easiest out in the West before the playoffs started. I expect them to have a different roster next year with Aldridge, Matthew and Lopez facing free agency. Silver lining -- at least Meyers Leonard and C.J, Mccollum played really well. They have a pretty good GM too.

Post by: Wiggum on May 03, 2015 at 07:02 AM
AP capsule previews of the two semfinal series kicking off tomorrow:

No. 1 ATLANTA HAWKS (60-22, 4-2) vs. No. 5 WASHINGTON WIZARDS (46-36, 4-0)

Season series: Hawks, 3-1. Atlanta won the first three meetings before giving its entire starting lineup the night off on April 12 and going with Elton Brand, John Jenkins, Mike Muscala, Kent Bazemore and Dennis Schroder in a 108-99 loss. The Hawks averaged 110.3 points with their regular team and made 16 3-pointers in a 120-89 rout on Jan. 11.

Story line: After needing six games to eliminate No. 8 Brooklyn on Friday in the first round, the Hawks face a rapid turnaround with this series starting Sunday afternoon. Washington has had a week off after completing its sweep of Toronto with a 125-94 victory on April 26.

Key Matchup I: Jeff Teague vs. John Wall. Wall averaged 17.3 points and 12.5 assists and outplaying a banged-up Kyle Lowry in the first round, but it's a much fairer matchup against fellow speedster and All-Star Teague. Teague averaged 21.7 points against Washington during the season and showed he can control a game without scoring at all in the Game 6 clincher against the Nets, handing out 13 assists while shooting 0 for 5.

Key Matchup II: DeMarre Carroll vs. Paul Pierce. Carroll scored 20 or more points in the last four games of the first round, averaged a team-high 17.5 and was called the series MVP by Nets coach Lionel Hollins. Pierce actually has won a postseason MVP award, from the 2008 NBA Finals, and was at his crafty best against the Raptors, shooting 58 percent overall and from 3-point range and setting the tone for the series with his clutch play in overtime in Game 1 in Toronto.

X-Factor: Marcin Gortat. Atlanta can be hurt by a big body inside, as the Nets' Brook Lopez showed, and Gortat should be confident he can do it after making 29 of his 39 shots (74 percent) and averaging 17.3 points against the Raptors.

Prediction: Hawks in 7.

No. 1 GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (67-15, 4-0) vs. No. 5 MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (55-27, 4-1)

Season Series: Warriors, 2-1. The teams split two games in Memphis, then Golden State won its lone home game of the season series by a deceptive four-point margin - since the Warriors led by 27 after three and then a bunch of reserves gave just about every bit of the lead away.

Story Line: The moments of truth for Golden State have now arrived. No Warriors team has won two playoff series in the same year since the title season of 1975, and they'll be facing a Memphis team with nothing to lose.

Key Matchup 1: Stephen Curry vs. Mike Conley. First of all, that's assuming this matchup actually happens. Conley's status is still unclear because of the facial surgery he needed in the first round, and even if he plays - the smart bet is that he will - it's anyone's guess how effective he will be. Curry, meanwhile, is showing no signs that he's letting the playoff moments become too big for him. And if he gets the MVP award, as many expect, during this series his game could just keep elevating.

Key Matchup 2: Draymond Green vs. Zach Randolph. Green has become one of the league's elite defenders, and his speed and footwork will keep Randolph from getting the spots that he wants. Green will probably be called upon to help on Marc Gasol as well, and his ability to close passing lanes will be huge for the Warriors

X-Factor: Klay Thompson. He averaged 25 points in the first-round sweep of New Orleans, and the Grizzlies will have to worry so much about Curry that Thompson figures to continue thriving in this matchup.

Prediction: The Warriors are the better team, the healthier team and the team with home court. Warriors in 5.

No. 2 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (53-29, 4-0) vs. No. 3 CHICAGO BULLS (50-32, 4-2)

Season Series: Cavaliers, 3-1. Cleveland was 3-0 with F Kevin Love in the lineup and 0-1 when he wasn't; Love's season ended last week because of a shoulder injury. Bulls G Jimmy Butler missed two of the four games, G Derrick Rose missed one. Cavs F LeBron James averaged 28.3 points, while G Kyrie Irving shot just 39 percent but averaged 21.3 points.

Story Line: How will the Cavs move on without Love? And how will they handle being without G J.R. Smith, who's suspended for the first two games? The Cavs have depth; F Tristan Thompson, a rebounding machine, will get more minutes and there's plenty of shooters on the Cleveland bench who can be dusted off. Meanwhile, the Bulls are trying to get to the conference finals for just the second time since the Michael Jordan era.

Key Matchup 1: Thompson/Timofey Mozgov vs. Pau Gasol/Joakim Noah. The greatness of James, Irving, Rose and Butler notwithstanding, the key to this series will be how the big men handle their business. Gasol and Noah have both been on this stage plenty of times and have that veteran savvy to help Chicago; playing with the lights this bright is a new proposition for Thompson and Mozgov.

Key Matchup 2: James vs. Rose. James has taken the defensive assignment on Rose plenty of times in late-game situations in recent years, almost reveling in the chance to stop the Bulls' offense where it starts. At some point, their paths will collide down the stretch of a close game and the winner of that 1-on-1 battle will likely be celebrating a victory on the scoreboard as well.

X-Factor: Bulls G-F Mike Dunleavy. This is the first time Dunleavy - the No. 3 pick in 2002 - has reached the second round of the playoffs. Most of his shots will be from 3-point range, and since the Cavs shoot so many 3's it often puts the pressure on opponents to answer from deep. Dunleavy can.

Prediction: The Cavs are wounded, clearly. Chicago can easily win this. There's arguments either way, but when in doubt, go with the best player and that's LeBron James. Cavaliers in 7.

No. 2 HOUSTON ROCKETS (56-26, 4-1) VS. No. 3 LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (56-26, 4-3)

Season Series: Split, 2-2. Each team won once at home and once on the road, with the Clippers winning in more decisive fashion. They cruised to 17-point and 15-point wins while the Rockets won by two points and five points in their two victories.

Story Line: Will Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Clippers have enough left in the tank after an emotional, grueling seven-game series victory over defending champion San Antonio against MVP candidate James Harden and the Rockets.

Key Matchup 1: Paul vs. his hamstring. The Clippers' leader had to leave Game 7 against the Spurs on Saturday night after pulling his right hamstring. He returned to the game and delivered a gutsy performance that included the game-winning leaner over Tim Duncan in the closing seconds. But coach Doc Rivers said he would be surprised if Paul was available for Game 1, an injury that could change the entire complexion of the series.

Key Matchup 2: Dwight Howard vs. DeAndre Jordan. Howard missed all four of the games against the Clippers in the regular season due to a knee injury. But he looked every bit of his old dominant self in the first round series against Dallas, averaging 16.6 points, 13.8 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 36.5 minutes per game. He had his way with Mavericks veteran Tyson Chandler, but now faces a younger version of himself in Jordan, the Clippers' alley-oop catching, shot-blocking force.

X-Factor: Jamal Crawford. He filled in capably in Game 7 when Paul went out because of injury, scoring nine points, dishing two assists and taking over the role of primary ball-handler and playmaker. If Paul can't play or is limited, Crawford will have to be effective for the Clippers to have a chance.

Prediction: The series likely depends on Paul's health. If Rivers is right and it's a significant injury, Rockets in 6.

Chi - No More BOOZER
Cavs - They have JR Smith (time bomb, lockerroom cancer)

;D

Hindi ba mas malakas pa nga yun Bulls nung 2010? Best record in the NBA at 62-20.  League MVP si Rose noon compared to this year's version of Rose. The Bulls also won game 1 nun.

Yeh those Lebron HEAT team was much better imho.

I actually prefer this Cavs over the Lebron Heat team. The Cavs just need to make most of their talent, know their roles and contribute. Lebron's Heat doesn't have much talent outside of the big 3 but the coaching staff extracted everything and anything they could from that roster.

care to elaborate? What did they do or say that makes them maere. Dont tell me kasi sa beard.  If you are talking about the stirring the pot thing of harden. I also cannot stand curry because he is also a showboat. Draymond green for me is also cocky. i love klay, he looks humble. Dont tell me players cant pump their fist, celebrate etc. Meron ba mas mayabang sa clippers? They are one of the most hated. they complain on like every call sa referees. Diba golden state hate them so much? it is almost like a rivalry already. So if you like golden state dapat you hate the clippers big time. Or are you a new golden state fan?

The Clippers vs. Warriors locker room fight was more like Stephen Curry stepping up to a ballboy
By Tom Ziller , May 4, 2014

The Clippers and Warriors a) hate each other and b) just finished a grueling seven-game series. You'd expect nerves to be frayed, especially on Golden State's losing side. So it wasn't a total surprise to hear that the teams engaged in a hallway altercation after Game 7.

Wait, let's throw some scare quotes in there. The "teams" engaged in a "hallway altercation" after Game 7. From Marc Spears:

After the game ended, the Warriors thought they heard a Clippers assistant coach yell, "It's a little quiet in there," several times outside their locker room, multiple sources said. Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Steve Blake were the first to dart from the locker room and confronted some Clippers ball boys in the hallway between both locker rooms, a source said.

Emphasis mine. What's more hilarious: that ballboys were taunting the Warriors, or that Curry and Steve Blake rushed out to confront who they thought was an assistant coach?

There's more. From Sam Amick:

While all the details of the situation were not immediately clear, it's believed that Warriors big man Marreese Speights was among the aggressors for the Warriors while point guard Chris Paul was allegedly the irritant for the Clippers -- though maybe even in silence. As was described by the witnesses, Paul came along as the incident appeared to be dying down and his mere presence picked things up again.

Emphasis still mine. An altercation gets elevated because Chris Paul walks by?! What kind of party is this? I mean, it's not exactly Kendrick Perkins and Zach Randolph throwing down.

All reports indicate that STAPLES Center security and the LAPD eventually intervened after Speights and Glen Davis yelled at each other and Paul stood there and Curry side-eyed ballboys. After a season of snarling, the chapel controversy and a tough-as-casino-buffet-steak seven-game series ... this is how all that tension is resolved? I'm glad the NBA has gotten rid of violence, but this is just absurd. Settle it with a game of cribbage next time.


Oh ito isa pa, sino ba mayabang?

Golden State Warriors Pick a Fight with LA Clippers, Win It


The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers extended their heated rivalry on Wednesday, exchanging Christmas spirit, a few elbows and some ejections to cap off a day of holiday action.

Golden State struck the final blow, though, winning 105-103 as Stephen Curry scored 10 points to Chris Paul's eight in the fourth quarter.

The contest was close down the stretch, and it could have turned out very differently if Paul had been able to draw a whistle on any of his three forays into the lane during the final two minutes. He hit the deck especially hard with one second remaining, but replay showed that Klay Thompson swatted the ball cleanly from behind as Kent Bazemore stepped in to take what should have been a clear offensive foul.

There was no whistle, though, and the Clips had to heave up a desperation triple with no timeouts remaining. Jamal Crawford's fall-away three came up short.

Speaking of coming up short, both the Warriors and Clippers had to finish the game short-handed because of a series of altercations that resulted in Draymond Green and Blake Griffin being ejected in the second half.

At the end of the third period, Green flung an elbow that may not have actually connected with Griffin's chin, but it was certainly obvious enough to warrant banishment to the locker room. Oddly, Griffin also received a technical on the play.

That curious T came back to haunt the Clippers just a few minutes later, as Andrew Bogut wisely (or deviously, depending on your perspective) tied Griffin up under the basket. The officials already sensed the game starting to slip out of their control, so double technicals were issued quickly to both Griffin and Bogut.

As a result, Griffin joined Green in the "Early Exit" club.

Per Dan Woike of the Orange County Register, Griffin wasn't pleased with the Warriors' "tactics" after the game:

Bad blood is nothing new for these teams. Though neither club is especially physical by nature, Green, Bogut, Paul and Matt Barnes are always ready to mix things up. Most recent meetings have involved at least a few extracurriculars.

In fact, CP3 and Barnes were ready to keep fighting after the final buzzer sounded.

When Crawford's potential game-winner fell short, Bogut corralled the loose ball. As he often does, Paul went to snatch the rock away, almost certainly hoping to instigate another tussle. Somehow, Barnes appeared instantly, shoving Bogut in the back and inciting yet another scrum in front of the Warriors bench.

After the game, Barnes offered up his typical tough-guy bluster, via Woike
:Bogut was talkin trash all game. He can talk it on the court; he knows better than to talk it off the court" - Matt Barnes

Though they were probably guilty of instigating an equal share of physicality, the Warriors took a slightly more diplomatic tone in their postgame comments.

Per the Dubs' official Twitter feed,
 Bogut said:"They're a physical team in the middle. Sometimes that's how it gets. Neither of us backed down and that's how it should be." @andrewbogut

And you know what? He's right. These teams are going to be jostling for playoff position and the Pacific Division crown all season long. They should be fighting tooth and nail when they square off. Some of the chippiness could probably go by the wayside, but it'd be silly to expect the Dubs and Clips to bring anything less than maximum effort.

The only shame is that the physicality and poor officiating obscured some brilliant play by Paul, who led all scorers with 26 points and played phenomenal defense on Curry until the Warriors point guard finally shook loose in the final period. Still, Steph needed 17 shots to get his 15 points.

After the game, Warriors coach Mark Jackson downplayed the rivalry angle, per Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com:
Mark Jackson: "We like them. Merry Christmas." Said still believes Clips-GSW not a rivalry because "neither one of us have done anything."

Nice try, coach. We all saw what happened. These two teams hate each other, and the Clips are going to be somewhat justified in feeling they got a raw deal in this one. That'll only intensify the animosity.

For the Warriors, winning a tight game that the officials allowed to get out of control was a sign of mild growth. They've still got a long way to go, and some key weaknesses reared their ugly heads throughout the game.

Jackson's rotations continue to make little sense, Harrison Barnes proved once again that he's miscast as a shot-creator and key turnovers nearly sank the Dubs. But for all that, Golden State notched a win and gained an even stronger mental edge on the Clippers.

Remember, the Warriors have gone 4-2 against L.A. since the beginning of last season.

And if Bazemore's postgame exuberance is any indication, Golden State is pretty happy with the result it earned.

Ultimately, the Dubs came ready to fight—both literally and figuratively—against the Clippers. They walked away with the satisfaction of a win and the knowledge that they could get under L.A.'s skin.

Both of those things will be valuable as these teams continue to wrestle for California supremacy.

Don't worry about the Clips as I don't like them as well but not as much as I don't like Houston. Lol. I like CP3 but I don't like Blake.

I also don't like Harden, but maybe it's just because I admire Steph a lot, wanted him to win MVP and Harden was his closest competitor... so subconsciously, napasok sa utak ko na "kalaban" siya :P He doesn't really seem like someone I'd really dislike otherwise.

But Howard is someone I definitely don't like (lol, laker fan issues), and to a lesser degree, I also don't like Kevin McHale.

Tsaka yung pinakita nila last game... totally giving up on the game being down 10 points with more than a minute left... such a poor show of heart.

I guess im a Spurs fan... Ive been supporting the SAS since Tim Duncan got drafted :D hehehe

Of course, there was David Robinson too, then Avery Johnson, sean elliot, bruce bowen, then Manu Ginobili, then Parker, heck there was even a Micheal Finley, Robert Horry, Steve Kerr, a forgettable Richard Jefferson, a bench warming Tracy Mcgrady (who I saw score 13 points in 29 secs to steal a playoff game - ruined my day back then)... And Now we have this version with Kawhi..

I think all those teams were good, but I also liked other teams, albeit on a shorter time frame... I like the Clippers since 2012 (Playoff eliminated by the spurs 4-0 :D ), I also like Rose's Bulls.... Does that make me a bandwagoner? hehehe... probably not :)

The urban dicationary defines a Bandwagon Fan as Anyone who claims they are a "fan" of a particular sports team, even though they had no prior support for/interest in the team until that team started winning. These types of fans only show playoff interest, have probably never watched a regular season game, don't own any type of team merchandise, nor would they buy any.

There is nothing wrong being a new fan of a new team. I just find it amusing that some always root for the opposing team the rockets play. Nothing wrong with that. It is the dwight effect talaga. Na carry over lang yun dislike kay harden. To tell you the truth i also hated some of the tweets by the rockets. But to carry a team with so many injuries is something else. I guess it is that hunger that we never tasted an mvp or championship since 1995.

that entire game made me groan. gs would play solid d for an entire possession and the grizz would get bailed out by a last second shot. happened about 4 times.

allen totally got into klay's head after a bad game 2. he actually played some of his best reg season games against the grizz but now he looks really tentative.

and it's not just good d by memphis, some of the gs struggles have been mental too. they shot 5/23 on open shots in game 2. making just a couple of those would've changed the tone of the game entirely.

sa game 3  ang dami ding mintis na open shots, pati ft mintis din. game 4 is a must win for gs...

Must-win Game Fours for all the higher seeds. From the net:

For what it’s worth, only eight NBA teams have rallied from 3-1 deficits — out of 214 attempts. The last time it happened was almost ten years ago - in 2006, when Phoenix rallied to beat the Lakers.

Of the eight teams to rally from a 3-1 deficit, six did so from a higher seeding than their opponent — in other words, having homecourt advantage and forcing/winning Game 7 at home.


Sana lahat ng series mag 2-2 :)

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2460263-lebron-james-wins-game-4-vs-bulls-with-buzzer-beating-jumper-in-the-corner

Until that last winning shot by King James, I thought the game was lousy with poor shooting on both teams.  Bulls and Cavs can't make decent shots for long stretches.  Even Lebron had a bad game with 10 of 30 FG shooting, 1 of 7 from the 3-point and 8 errors.  But he still decided to take the last shot, as what great players do.

Simple lang naman ...... titigil na ang hack-a-DJ once nag-improve na ang FT shooting ni DJ.

He's been playing in the NBA for many years now and his shooting form is still erratic and he looks like a nervous wreck everytime he's taking FT's. Kita mo yung takot sa mukha niya eh.  ;D

Many other bigs, notably Tim Duncan, started with iffy FT shooting, yet drove themselves to shoot better through the years.

I don't think it's a knock on Jordan.  He was so dominant, hindi na kailangan umabot pa sa buzzer-beating shot si MJ.  Sa playoffs nga hindi na umaabot pa ng game 7 ang Bulls under him.

If the game earlier was a barometer, then I'd say LBJ fails in comparison with MJ ( and I'm an avid LBJ fan ha ).  LBJ had a poor game earlier and almost cost the game with his errors.  The swarming defense of Chicago forced LBJ to 8 turnovers.  MJ, in his prime, could have sealed the game early in the 4th with the way the opposing team was playing.  Yes, no need for a buzzer beater if MJ was playing.

"I don't think hacking works as a strategy because there are too many counter defenses," O'Neal told Yahoo Sports. "For example, if you hack me and I miss, what you are banking on is you can score. But if I miss and we get a [defensive] stop, then the game is where it is. So if you keep doing it, I gain rhythm and the other team loses rhythm."

- quote from shaq. just like what happened to the clips game earlier. yes, jordan was missing the free throws but the rockets aren't scoring either.

Comment lang ako sa win ng Hawks kanina. Clearly may struggle talaga ang Hawks sa consistency nila in offense during their playoff run. Kyle is nowhere to be found in this series. Lucky lang talaga kanina yung last second rebound ni Horford. Im still glad we won the game. P. Pierce though - what a baller. Clutch talaga! I was waiting mag banggaan si Horford and Pierce kanina jsut like 2008.

I've also observed that Jeff Teague is lacking heart. I feel that Dennis brings more energy to the floor. If only he can shoot the ball better..

But of those who came back from the 1-3 deficit, 75% of those had homecourt.  Then out of all the game 7s played in history, the percentage goes up to 80% of teams having homecourt winning those game 7s.

I agree with about 80% of your statement except for the fact that Houston's defense was not crippling, if broken down properly, the crew on the floor was very defensive oriented and they did step up big time.  Plus, LAC was also visibly fatigued, each shot taken in the 4th almost had no legs in it whereas HOU was scrambling for loose balls on the other end, may energy pa on both ends tapos bwenas pa ng todo si J-Smoove.

But this comeback win, you gotta give it to the man.  Galing nga ng adjustment nya.  I thought the Clips was the superior team, man for man, but in a winner take all match, Houston had better execution offense and defense.  They forced the Clips to so many turnovers.

But I still don't like the Rockets because they have two of my least liked players in the NBA - DH12 and Harden!

For me....wala naman out of this world performance ang mga Rockets players. Harden may have gotten 31pts. But he was 7 for 20. Sole credit goes to McHale talaga. Simply utilizing Josh Smith was one of his brilliant moves. Even if matalo sa West Finals, McHale has proven himself as a very capable coach. na out-coach pa niya si Rivers who has a ring. Si Rivers pa yun walang maisip na adjustments as coach.

Wow, di pa rin nakapasok sa conference finals si CP3, parang si Dominique Wilkins.  :-\

It's Doc the GM's fault, well Doc and company...The Clippers made the worst moves this season.

They signed Spencer Hawes to the full MLE, therefore triggering a hard cap. And then Dudley had to be  shipped to the Bucks along with a 1st rd pick in order for the Clippers to have any cap flexibility at all. Clippers could have used Dudley who was only awful last season because he was playing hurt. And they could have offered the MLE to Pierce or not have used it at all.  Even their drafting was bad. When your team's best move was the coach trading for his son, your team is fkkkd.  :o

GS vs Houston judging by the way they've played in the playoff, GS should win easy.

Kind of hard to judge the playoff match up based on the regular season for these two teams, Houston did not have the same line up when they faced each other.  Wala pa sila Jsmoove.

GS vs Houston judging by the way they've played in the playoff, GS should win easy.   

I haven't been watching the EC teams play so I can't speculate how either Cavs or Hawks might fare against GS.

I'd like the Dubs to win too, but with Houston's comeback from a 3-1 deficit, their confidence is above the roof.  I wouldn't write them off that easy, otherwise I'd end up like the Clippers.

Post by: Wiggum on May 19, 2015 at 07:33 AM
AP - A look at the NBA's Eastern and Western Conference finals (with regular-season and playoff records):

EASTERN CONFERENCE

No. 1 ATLANTA HAWKS (60-22, 8-4) vs. No. 2 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (53-29, 8-2)


Season series: Hawks, 3-1. Atlanta won the final three meetings, though one was with LeBron James sitting out and only one came after Cleveland upgraded its rotation with the acquisitions of J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Timofey Mozgov. The Hawks averaged 109 points and shot 52.3 percent against the Cavs, with Al Horford making 23 of 36 shots (64 percent). James averaged 23.7 points, but had nearly as many turnovers (14) as assists (17) or rebounds (15).

Story line: A couple of teams who aren't very experienced playing this late in the season. James is back in the Eastern Conference finals for the fifth straight year, though this is Cleveland's first trip since 2009, before he left for Miami. Making their first Eastern Conference finals appearance and seeking their first championship since moving to Atlanta, the Hawks have home-court advantage but seemed to be viewed as an underdog to a Cavs team that played better in the latter half of the season.

Key Matchup I: Jeff Teague vs. Kyrie Irving. James said recently the Hawks' offense starts with Teague, whose strong second-half performances helped Atlanta win the two meetings that were close. Irving will have to match the fellow speedy All-Star at less than 100 percent. He missed the second half of Cleveland's Game 6 victory against Chicago and has been battling knee and foot problems.

Key Matchup II: Paul Millsap vs. Tristan Thompson. Millsap averaged 18 points on 55 percent shooting against the Cavs during the regular season. Perhaps Cleveland will do better with more Thompson, who has inherited the power forward role after Kevin Love's season-ending shoulder injury and made 19 of 24 shots against the Hawks during the season.

X-Factor: Matthew Dellavedova. His season-high 19 points helped the Cavs win the clincher against the Bulls after Irving was hurt, and there could be plenty of backup point guard time available in this round against an Atlanta team that sometimes plays Teague and Dennis Schroder together.

Prediction: Cavaliers in 6.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

No. 1 GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (67-15, 8-2) vs. No. 2 HOUSTON ROCKETS (56-26, 8-4)


Season series: Warriors, 4-0. Golden State clobbered Houston four times by double digits, winning by an average of about 15 points in sweeping the series for the first time since 1973-74. The Warriors averaged 115 points, but put up 131 and 126 in the final two meetings. Stephen Curry averaged 25.8 points and went 14 of 27 from 3-point range (52 percent). James Harden scored 25.3 per game for Houston, which played without Dwight Howard twice in a series that ended on Jan. 21.

Story line: MVP Curry and MVP runner-up Harden meet for a chance to move closer to the biggest team prize, the NBA championship. The Warriors haven't won one since 1975, while the Rockets are still alive for their first since going back-to-back in 1994-95 after overcoming a 3-1 deficit against the Clippers in the second round.

Key Matchup I: Curry or Klay Thompson against Trevor Ariza. Like Memphis with Tony Allen, the Rockets could use their defensive wing in hopes of containing one of the Splash Brothers. The difference is Ariza can also provide some offense, scoring 13.2 points per game in the postseason and going for 22 in Game 7 against the Clippers.

Key Matchup II: Andrew Bogut vs. Howard. Bogut has to move on from Marc Gasol to Howard, who was limited to 41 games during the regular season but has had some solid moments in the postseason, averaging 17.2 points and 13.8 rebounds.

X-Factor: Terrence Jones. The Warriors never saw the Rockets' former starting forward during the regular season. Now coming off the bench behind Josh Smith, Jones has been good for 11.3 points in just 24 minutes per game during the postseason.

Prediction: Warriors in 5.

Yep, GF nya yun. blondie. Sayang sir dapat nagpapic ka na. :D

Anyway, I'm reading that the T'Wolves prefer Jahlil Okafor. That leaves us with Karl Towns.

No-brainer to pick a center in this draft sa top 2. We need a legit big man and either Okafor or Towns is a good choice for us. If naging top 3 tayo, i would have guessed na si Mudiay (i don't like this guy) or si Russell yung magiging choices ng Lakers.

Karl Towns though is the best for the Lakers. I just see Okafor as a very lazy guy on defense.

The top 2 prospects remind me of the Dwight Howard Draft. Mas may potential si Karl-Towns but mas accomplished si Okafor. Karl-Towns is more Dwight Howard and you guessed it.... Okafor is Emeka Okafor.  Emeka pa nga is better defensively.  At worst Jahlil Okafor might turn out to be Eddy Curry.

Per 40 stats is somewhat similar to Duncan's sophomore year except for the high foul rate.

Tapos distant cousin pa ni Jahlil si Emeka. Pero mas skilled naman si Jahlil kesa Emeka. Yun nga lang, unmotivated sa defense yung bata unlike kay Towns na makikita mo magsprint talaga back to defense. I was surprised sa isang instance where he scored down low and nagfast break yung opposing team pero Towns already made it back sa defense. Si Okafor nagjajog lang. But offense-wise, polished si Okafor. Parang Jabari, pwede na agad isabak sa NBA starting day 1.
Unless they got it from a trade, parang its never a good sign to be part of draft lottery every year..
Sa Lakers, two years in a row na sa lottery. Malas lang kami bro. Dwight+Nash did not work out for the Lakers. If it did, di sana ganito Lakers. Maybe things will be different na next season. Randle+Clarkson+ #2 , #27 & #34 + cap space = could make it to the playoffs IF everything works out. Otherwise, baka sa 2016 pa ulit umangat Lakers.haha

Halos pareho lang ang Lakers at Sixers in terms recent lottery appearances. The 76ers just seem to have sucked forever, pero 3 straight years pa lang sila sa lottery. It began that year when they got Bynum'd , and then there's 2 years of Hinkie rebuilding.

Ang pinasuki ng lottey ang ay Kings at Wolves. 9 staight lotteries ang Kings, and Twolves naman 9 lotteries in the past 10 years. Warriors ang pinakasuki dati.

kawawa naman new york, after that tanking they did, they only got pick #4.

Sayang, mukhang di mapupunta si Jahlil sa Knicks. Bagay sana sa triangle si Okafor, he's an elite post player w/ good passing ability. Tapos i-sign pa sana ni PhilJax si Monroe at Rondo from free agency. He could've assembled a team that would dominate the NBA in the 90's!  ;D

Ang galing ng tank strategy ng Lakers. Jordan Hill ISOs for days!  ;D

Quote
Hill has spent most of this season loafing on defense and taking terrible shots, and Byron Scott has served as Hill’s enabling drug pusher. Hill has somehow taken 84 shots out of isolation plays this season, per Synergy. Scott calls isolations for Hill — like, actual play calls, out of timeouts, in crunch time.

Most of those plays end up like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r81lJ7n-d0):

Scott called another Jordan iso play in that New Orleans game even when the Pellies had Anthony Davis guarding him. Scott called two in crunch time against Brooklyn late last month, and in shocking news, Hill missed both as the game veered out of reach for the Lakers.

Want to convince fans that you’re not losing games on purpose? Stop calling isolations designed for Jordan freaking Hill to take contested 18-foot jump shots. Seriously, there is no middle ground: Scott is either a terrible coach or he’s calling plays he knows will shrink the Lakers’ odds of winning. I went to look up Hill’s isolation numbers on Synergy, but my laptop caught fire and started shrieking.

True, masyadong nakakahiya nga ginawa ng new york. I can foresee Melo asking to be traded soon if their pick does not work. Di rin ako sold kay Mudiay.

Yeah hopefully Philly stops tanking already. Nakakabadtrip makita na may team na ganun na sobrang basura. Biruin mo top talents nila last year mga rejects like Ish Smith, Canaan,Covington. Lol

They gave up MCW and McDaniels who were decent players, IMO. They still have Nerlens, Embiid and (in the future) Dario Saric but it looks like they wont be getting out of the lottery any time soon.

As for New York...well, they are a hot mess! It is Melo + trash/scrubs. Let's see what Pjax can do to turn this around. Lamarcus+Rondo perhaps? But they really need to have a solid plan to entice free agents. As seen last year, being a big market team is meaningless unless you have a decent team already. In the case of the Knicks, Melo lang meron sila and one pick which they are rumored to be dangling in a trade.

The Rockets in the last sequence got the GSW players on their heels so it was an advantage for them, no need for a timeout. What bothered me was Harden passing it to a big before eventually getting it back & was trapped. He should've gone straight to the hoop & fish for a foul.

It's been done as recently as 2012 with the Thunder though strictly being down 0-2.  OKC was likewise down 0-2 to the mighty Spurs. They won 4 straight to take it 4-2.  But I was not referring to winning the series.  I was just pointing out evening the series at 2-2 then best of 3 na lang where anything can happen.  Cavs might still end up winning the series.  But the Hawks still have a good chance of tying it at 2-2.

Well, that is what they've shown in the playoffs.

I dont know about that. Remember when the hawks took the top seeded and then-champs celtics to 7 games in the first round 2008? The hawks were a bad team back then.. Being top seed doesnt mean you cant lose a couple games to lower tier teams.

I'm there with you. What I'm saying is that they failed to meet the expectation of being the top-seed. Or perhaps this is the Cavs' fault for not truly showing their full potential as a powerhouse team at the start of the season therefore allowing the Hawks to get the top seed in the East.

My evaluation that the Hawks is a regular season fodder team is a bit harsh. They deserve to be in the playoffs but their excellent teamwork during the regular season did not translate into playoffs success. Ok sa teamwork, kulang sa talent.

Lebron started 0 of 10 from the field.  And he is 1 of 6 from the 3 points.  So bad shooting night pero ang maganda di nya pinilit.  He found other ways to beat the opponent.  That's mental toughness for you.  And in the end, he put up video game numbers. 

Actually, HAWKS had every chance to beat the Cavs in a close game.  Ang aga na penalty ng Cavs!  Poor execution lang on their part but overall, Hawks ain't bad despite playing without Korver and Horford.

LBJ surpassed Jason Kidd for 2nd overall in number of triple doubles in a playoff behind Magic's 30.  He also surpassed Karl Malone as 6th overall in all time playoff scoring.

For sentimental reasons, I really want Lebron to win another ring and give Cleveland it's first ever.  But damn, GSW is a STRONG contender and, IMO, has a stronger lineup.

Are you talking about 2007 to 2008 rockets?  Let's make a fair statement, Yao Ming was injured. Also the rockets were the 5th seed that time. You take any star player out of your team, especially in the playoffs, goodbye ka. Especially sa matchups versus some teams.

Look what is happening right now to the rockets, They don't have Beverly and Dmo, both starters and they are really having matchup problems versus GSW. I'm not taking anything away from GSW, but this year talaga buenas sila. They have no injuries whatsoever. You take out either Klay, bogut or Green throughout the playoffs starting sa Round 1, Kahit isa lang sa kanila, I don't think they will last, especially against Memphis. Curry is having a field day against grandpas Prigioni and Terry right now.

Buenas talaga sila, biggest injury for them is Bogut, who is under the weather for game 2 ata against rockets. Ano yan sipon? lol..I'm not cursing golden state for injury, but talaga buenas sila since start of the season. Biggest injury  I think was Klay injuring his ankle and missed 5 games in the regular season.

Also the teams they play against or will meet sa playoffs always have the injuries, namely Memphis with Conley and Allen. Rockets with Beverly and Dmo. Against the east, Kung against the cavs wala si Love and Irving (not sure pa), sa Hawks naman wala si Korver, Caroll may not be 100 percent. Against a excellent team like golden state you really need everybody.


From wiki

The 2007-08 Houston Rockets season was their 41st season in the National Basketball Association and 37th in Houston. The Rockets won at least 50 games for the second straight season and made the playoffs also on the back of a 22-game winning streak, the third longest in the history of the NBA. The Houston Rockets came into the 2007-2008 playoffs without Yao Ming, who was still injured. This injury contributed to the Rockets' elimination by the Utah Jazz in the first round (2-4).[1]

Harden is overrated! No team player!

He carried the team up to the conference finals with all the team's injuries. I don't think that is overrated. Houston was not even in any of the media's pick to last this far. You have Rick Fox admitting he was one of the naysayers and saying sorry to the Rockets. Si Cuban din. For me, it is already a successful season for Houston. Malay mo they win 4 straight. Clutch City!!!

^^Well, Speights is injured.

And it's not just all about luck, GS played well enough in the regular season that they were able to manage everyone's minutes without affecting team chemistry. Bogut was played sparingly in the reg season and even had an extended sabbatical in December. Curry sat 20 4qs and had the lowest per minute avg of any MVP ever. It's
not just luck,  GS's health in the offseason is also about good team management.

Spreights is a nobody. You take Green or Klay out of the playoffs they are deadmeat. Again I'm not taking anything away from gsw. I agree they are a well managed team. For me talaga buenas sila this year in terms of injuries.

Yes that's true, but right now it's not holding true for the Cavaliers with Love (out of playoffs) and Kyrie (out temporary). The big question is "will the cavs be able to handle Gs or Houston/atlanta (hehe hindi pa naman tapos) without Kyrie and Love. Kyrie's injury, if long term, what is the effect? Imagine playing CHicago without Kyrie since the beginning of the second round series, baka nga they won't even pass Chicago. In today's game if Korver was there, maybe Atlanta would have won. Marami nga ïfs" but everybody have to settle with what they have.

Kaya I'm saying nasa matchup talaga per round and injuries play a big part. It is better if you have your whole team healthy towards the end of season and especially for the playoffs to make that push. And that is where GS is truly blessed throughout the year up to playoffs imho. Maybe their trainers and docs are better, who knows.

with LBJ and shump on others, delly or kyrie...lamang si klay on the post dyan.

GSW present plenty of match up problems. the fact that 4 positions can shoot and slash means the other teams need to work on defense all night. If the opposing team can slow down the game like Memphis did or like how the spurs play, then whoever comes out of the east will have a chance against them.

I honestly think there is no malice with Matty D. but I think its with the way he plays and his background of being a rugby player that makes him rugged and reckless, he just goes for the ball nose first. The Taj incident though was on purpose and really meant to irritate.

^ Delikado talaga si Delly with the way he was diving and sliding/rolling over other players in those two incidents in the ECF. Probably with no intent to hurt, but with unfortunate consequences. I'm trying to think of other players who play with his kind of energy, but are not necessarily "dangerous". Probably Westbrook or Noah?

Hope the Finals won't be marred by similar incidents or injuries. Pareho din nga palang Aussie si Dellavedova and Bogut :)

Coaches in general want to end the series as early as possible kasi. Baka if maextend, someone might get hurt pa and be out for the rest of the playoffs. More games to extend the series, more chances of players getting hurt.

^^ Trivia: The Rockets (already with Harden) came back from a 3-0 deficit in the 2013 NBA playoffs to force a Game 6 against OKC. And there are three teams which were also down 3-0 but have even forced a Game 7 ('51 Knicks, '94 Nuggets and '03 Blazers). Unlikely for the Rockets to pull off this major comeback, but who knows? :) The Warriors must treat Game 5 as a must-win game.

The Rockets and Harden may have the harshest critics....even McHale.  But facing a sweep... they sure made a case and didn't fold.  Harden had 45pts on 22 field goal attempts including 7 for 11 on threes and 12 of 13 FTs.  Talk about being very efficient.  And McHale again making the necessary adjustments though it took him 3 games to do so.  Harden proving why he is the runner up for the MVP award. 

This will be GSW na.  There's a reason nobody has won a series after going down 0-3.  But let's see how far the Rockets extend the series.

Agree.  I think Coach Blatt is an underrated coach.  He deserves more respect than he's getting.  Sa coaching, may edge pa rin ang Cavs.

As I said, for sentimental reasons I like Lebron to win his 3rd ring, break the curse for Cleveland and give the city its first ever major championship.  About damn time, to paraphrase LBJ.

While underrated may describe Blatt, I think Kerr is the more well-rounded coach. Imagine how can a rookie coach achieve the best record in the NBA, have the most efficient offense and second most efficient defense in the league. Blatt may very well be the best coach in Europe. But still iba pa rin ang laro sa Europe and NBA. While Kerr maybe a first time coach, he has studied the NBA for a decade na rin both as a GM and a telestrator. Then he played in the league for more than a decade. So Kerr has better knowledge of how the game is played in the NBA.

I mean how can a rookie coach accomplish what he has accomplished this year in an obviously stacked up Western conference. It's not luck his team is on the brink of entering the finals.  Imagine the coaches in the West... Pop, Doc, Brooks, Carlisle...these are coaches of the year and/or NBA champions. And Kerr is most probably the only one left standing in the west.  Baka nga si Kerr pa yun underrated. Hindi siguro tsamba yun. Knowledge of the game talaga.

But Lebron is still Lebron. But sa coaching, the edge for me goes to Kerr. He seems always prepared.

Grabe offensive onslaught ng GSW, baka mahilo depensa ng Cavs. Pero sana maging parang OKC lang ang GSW noong nakalaban sila ng Miami Heat sa Championship.  :)

Madami rin namang sablay na tira si Lebron ah? Actually pag closing laging sablay tira nya kaya nakakahabol ang hawks.

Pero hindi itong game 4 ha. Beast mode nga sya dito.

kawawa naman Houston, Cavs vs GSW na pinag-uusapan :)

parang kwento ni Charles Barkley the other day, nagkwento sa kanya yung driver ng limo on the way to Game 2 of Atlanta vs Cleveland game sa Atlanta ... asar na asar daw yung driver dahil before Charles, yung sakay daw nya coaching staff ng Cavs at ang pinag-uusapan kung paano dedepensahan si Curry, Green, at Thompson ... and that was before game 2 against Atlanta

Actually, talaga naman no match ang hawks sa cleveland. mas nahirapan pa sila sa bulls e. I would like Cavs to win but I would like Curry to be champ also. I think pag physical ang naging laro panalo ang cavs dito sa seriese vs GSW. Pero pag naging running game ito, definitely sa GSW na ito. so it would depend sa flow ng defense ito.

maganda din siguro ilagay ni steve kerr si iguodala sa first five and move barnes to the bench.

iguodala can guard lebron better than barnes.

sana wizards na lang nakalaban ng cavs mas maganda pa sana series. kawalang gana ang hawks.

Wala pa odds for the Finals ( CLE vs GS ) but since Game 1 will be at Oracle Center, tingin ko mga +1 to +2 ang Cavs.  Pwede pumusta sa GSW dahil lagi naman panalo ang opponent ng Cavs sa mga game 1.

If you meant the game today, HOU is a +10.5 underdog as experts are expecting a close out game by GSW today.  Kung pupusta ako today, I'll go Houston. GSW will win but Houston will go out swinging and will keep game close and below the odds.

========

I'd like Steph Curry and the Warriors to win, but LeBron and Kyrie Irving (at full strength) sure make a good case for the veteran Cavs to be the favorites in this year's Finals. Sa coaching at defense (i.e., stopping the other team's superstar) ito magkakatalo. Should be a good one. I'd be surprised if the Finals doesn't reach at least 6 games.

Totoong masaya to win at home..pero i doubt na ito naging dahilan nila sa game 4. Mas gusto ng coach na matapos agad ang series to avoid injuries. Nagkataon lang talaga na maganda laro ng Rockets nun.

If its CLE, it will be the greatest triumph for the most cursed city / state in the history of US sports.

if they had the defense of the 2004 Detroit Pistons, I'd be 100% certain they would give the Cavs a rude awakening. However, their defense isn't as good as that team was so I'll have to tip this one in the Cavs' favor.

But my heart is with the Warriors. I hope that they win even though they are going to collide with an unstoppable force like Lebron.

Cavs in 6.  I think rooters for Cavs are more than rooters for the Heat when James was with them.  I'd say this will be even -- GSW vs CAVS rooters.

Yes pero mahaba pala ang process before you get cleared to play when you are diagnosed with a concussion.

"In order for Thompson to return to practice and/or be ready for Game 1, these are the "return-to- participation decisions" and protocol from the NBA:

4. Return-to Participation Decisions:

Once a player is diagnosed with a concussion he is then held out of all activity until he is symptom-free at rest and until he has no appreciable difference from his baseline neurological exam and his baseline score on the computerized cognitive assessment test.
The concussed player may not return to participation until he is asymptomatic at rest and has successfully completed the NBA concussion return-to-participation exertion protocol.
5. Return-to Participation Protocol:

The return to participation protocol involves several steps of increasing exertion -- from a stationary bike, to jogging, to agility work, to non-contact team drills.
With each step, a player must be symptom free to move to the next step. If a player is not symptom free after a step, he stops until he is symptom free and begins again at the previous step of the protocol (i.e., the last step he passed without any symptoms).
While the final return-to participation decision is to be made by the player's team physician, the team physician must discuss the return-to-participation process and decision with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the Director of the NBA's Concussion Program, prior to the player being cleared for full participation in NBA Basketball.
It's important to note that there is no timeframe to complete the protocol. Each injury and player is different and recovery time can vary in each case."

I tried to search :

Contusion is a specific term that denotes that there is a hemorrhage or bruise in the brain tissue as a result of the injury.This may be seen on ct and MRI scans.

Concussion refers to the traumatic brain injury where there may or may not be a loss of consciousness. Sequelae include headache, nausea/vomiting, inability to concentrate or think. A person may have both a concussion and a contusion.

Si Steph Curry wala pareho as he was cleared by the doctor in Game 5.  If he had, hindi na sya makakalaro.

Si Klay naman, since he suffered symptoms,  was declared na meron CONCUSSION.  Further checks will reveal if he has contusion or serious injuries

Post by: Wiggum on Jun 01, 2015 at 12:51 AM
(AP) - A capsule look at the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers (with playoff stats):

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (67-15, 12-3) vs. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (53-29, 12-2)

Starters:

Warriors — C Andrew Bogut (5.3 ppg, 8.6 rpg), F Draymond Green (14.0 ppg, 10.8 rpg), F Harrison Barnes (11.3 ppg, 5.0 rpg), G Klay Thompson (19.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg), G Stephen Curry (29.2 ppg, 6.4 apg).

Cavaliers — C Timofey Mozgov (9.1 ppg, 7.2 rpg), F Tristan Thompson (9.4 ppg, 9.9 rpg), F LeBron James (27.6 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 8.3 apg), G Iman Shumpert (10.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg), G Kyrie Irving (18.7 ppg, 3.7 apg).

Key reserves:

Warriors — G Andre Iguodala (8.0 ppg, 3.9 rpg), F G Shaun Livingston (5.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg), C Festus Ezeli (3.2 ppg, 3.0 rpg), G Leandro Barbosa (4.9 ppg, 1.1 rpg), F David Lee (2.0 ppg, 2.7 rpg).

Cavaliers — G J.R. Smith (13.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg), G Matthew Dellavedova (7.0 ppg, 2.6 apg), G James Jones (4.8 ppg, 1.5 rpg).

Season series: Tied, 1-1. The Warriors beat a Cavaliers team in transition Jan. 9, a 112-94 victory in which Smith scored 27 points in his first start with Cleveland and Mozgov made his Cavs debut. James sat out that game, then scored a season-high 42 points on 15-of-25 shooting and added 11 rebounds in a 110-99 home victory Feb. 26. Curry averaged 20.5 points and 8.0 assists.

Story line: Curry was this season's MVP, while James won it four times, and one of them will lead a team to an unfamiliar spot on top of the NBA. The Warriors haven't won a title since 1975. The Cavaliers have never won a title, with James trying to end his city's championship drought in his fifth straight finals appearance, and his first since returning to Cleveland from Miami last summer.

Key matchup I: Curry vs. Irving. They started together in the backcourt for the gold medal-winning U.S. in last summer's Basketball World Cup, then went on to have their best NBA seasons. But while Curry has followed that with a superb postseason, Irving has been battling foot and knee injuries that forced him to sit out two games in the Eastern Conference finals. Dellavedova has stepped up in his absence, but the Cavs are going to need their All-Star now.

Key matchup II: Barnes, Green, Iguodala and anyone else vs. James. James nearly averaged a triple-double in the conference finals against an Atlanta team that was limited in its options against him. But the Warriors are loaded with depth and can use smaller players against him on the perimeter or the stronger Green, the runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year. If they can force James to beat them from the outside, he'll probably have to shoot better than his current 17.6 percent from 3-point range in this postseason to do it.

X-factor: Smith. When he gets hot, he can drop 3-pointers as fast as Curry — they share this year's postseason high with eight in a game. But the volatile sixth man who was suspended two games earlier in the postseason for throwing an elbow will have to keep his emotions in check on the most pressure-packed stage there is.

Prediction: Warriors in 6.

LBJ will have a monster performance in this finals series, he'll be unstoppable, probably even score triple double average (30+ pts;11+ rebounds;10+ assists), Kyrie is back but I dont think he'll be 100%. GSW will rain 3-pointers from Thompson, Curry, Barns and Green.They will have running-offense which will render the Cavs' big men useless. Bench pts will be taken care of by Barbosa, Livingstone, Iguodala & Ezeli which will provide a huge break on their starting five. LBJ will carry the Cavs alone, with a little help form Kyrie and JR Smith but this is a team sport. they'll come up short.

Ganda ng adjustment ni Steve Kerr in OT.  He played small ball and it paved off.  And I think ang mindset nya, never mind if Lebron scores 40 or more basta wag lang gagawa yun role players like sina Smith, Jones , etc..

Ang prediction ko naman Cavs will lose game 1 as they have done in the past and then manage to win the series. BUT WITH KYRIE IRVING AROUND lalo GSW kalaban. 

I'm concerned about him.  Papa MRI daw cos he says this is a different injury.. Yikes.

Oo nga, sir. Sorry! :) I just found it incredible that Kyrie was still able to block Curry's shot towards the end of regulation. Akala ko sure 2 points na GSW.

But I do hope Kyrie can return and play in this series. Sayang yung match-up. At kinakabahan ako kay Delikadova na magka-playing time at baka may madale sa Warriors.

Those 2 consecutive fouls on Steph Curry in OT that gave him 4 FTs parang manipis, saka sya nag initiate ng contact? Hindi ata dapat tawagan ng fouls 'yun lalo na Finals na.  ::)

Malas si JR Smith, he kept on shooting 3s puro brick. Si LBJ naman wala ata sa passing mood. Kailangan maka steal ng kahit isang game sa GSW, although mahirap na, mukhang hindi na lalaro si Uncle Drew.

Go Cavs!

It was clear to me that Kerr's game plan was to let LBJ take all the shots he want with single coverage D but make it difficult for him to tire him out. LBJ was tired the last 2 minutes of the fourth & entire OT. What surprised me was the composure of GSW under pressure, Kerr & his young core team pulling through in end game...I see GSW winning the championship.

Sakto yan, sir. Ganyan din ang strategy ng GS against Brow and Harden earlier in the playoffs. Good single coverage D to tire out the opposing player. Make them shoot difficult shots.

Puro lack-of-heart Skip Bayless BS talk ang usapan, and not enough credit for Iguodalas's D. He was excellent tonight.  Pag nakatira ng clutch shot si LBJ (http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/lebron-may-be-the-most-clutch-playoff-shooter-of-his-generation/), may puso na ulit?

Other thoughts:
-Ang galing sa OREB ni Tristan Thompson. Nagulangan nya ng husto si Green at Bogut. Teams usually choose between either crashing the offensive boards or transition D but rarely both. In this case, Tristan's orebs actually curbed some of GS's transition attack. Na-neutralize nya si Draymond who often goes coast-to-coast after defensive rebounds.

-Mozgov's a really good rim protector, and very agile around the rim.

-Irving was probably insulted in being labeled a defensive liability by analysts, he played good D on Steph with a key block in the 4th. But Blatt just played him too many minutes (43 mins) and he got hurt. Delly had trouble bringing down the ball in a couple of sequences, kaya siguro binangko ni Blatt.

-Nice to see Mr Nobody (Speights) play some quality minutes in the finals  ;D

-Shump's potential game winning shot -- so close  :o

Hopefully Kyrie will be back come game 2. It would be a boring series w/o him. LBJ did everything, I don't blame him, he carried the cavs the entire game. Came up short as only lbj, kyrie and mozgov did provided crucial pts. Scoring for gsw was balanced (including their bench) and the starting 5 have their usual breaks so they weren't as tired as LBJ during ot

Mayroong winning shot si LBJ kay Iguodala before, 'di ko lang matandaan Kung step back tres or just a straight up jump shot lang. Siguro LBJ thought about that and tried to duplicate kaya lang nag back fire. Plus 'yung last winning shot nya sa Bulls jump shot din, although mas gusto ok din na nag drive to the basket na lang sya.

Galing ng memory mo bro.  Meron nga.  Last season yata basta Miami pa si Lebron sa homecourt ng GSW.  Halos same spot din.  Same scenario si Iggy din ang bantay.  Pumasok yun last second shot.

Meron pa syang isang game winner against the Warriors in 2009,  a step back 2 from the left side of the floor against Turiaf - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Raq1AaR9-3g

He made 2 game winning shots against the same team, from the same side of the floor, and in the same building. It's apparently a shot that he's really confident in taking. Galing lang talaga ng depensa ni Iguodala, he didn't give him any space in that instance.

Kyrie just came back from injury, tapos he played 40++ minutes. I was expecting him to play less minutes to be able to contribute something in the entire finals series. Sabi sa isang news article he'll undergo surgery so months bago full recovery nyan. Oh well, di bale sa gsw nman ako pumusta. Gsw will be champions in less than 6 games.

Holiday, conley, beverley and now kyrie. Jvg said something like "its amazing" ata. 

Again not taking away anything from gsw, pero parang you're a great team na tapos meron pa partida from mga kalaban mo lol...im not cursing or wishing bad, pero curry (arm) klay (concussion) tamang tama meron one week to recover. Game one ok na sila lol..

Post by: mattia on Jun 06, 2015 at 09:24 AM
Galing ng memory mo bro.  Meron nga.  Last season yata basta Miami pa si Lebron sa homecourt ng GSW.  Halos same spot din.  Same scenario si Iggy din ang bantay.  Pumasok yun last second shot.

Heto yun :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br8bkeP5egE

I thought Kyrie could have taken the last shot but, yeah, having seen these two videos and knowing that suki ni Lebron ang GSW sa last second shots, justified naman yun tira ni LBJ.  Di naman ill advised.  Di nga lang pumasok.  Ganun talaga eh.

Regular season games yun, pwede mo gawing yun. Pero pag finals dapat sure shot lagi. You must do what it takes to win the game while it is in your hands. It's a tie game. No need for a 3 unless distressed. Saksak foul baiting dunk lay up short jumper lang ang options.

With Kyrie out, a GSW sweep is a possibility.  I don't think GSW got their usual offensive rhythm going in game 1 until extra time.  Tough luck - could have been a great finals.

I don't think it will be a sweep. I still give a good chance to the cavs just because of lebron. When jr smith, mosgov and tristan plays well, they can win it. Lebron is lebron so he will still dominate. And dellanova might play physical on curry to frustrate him.

Dellavedova will replace Kyrie in the starting point guard position, marumi maglaro un. He's one of the major reason's cavs was able to shutdown the #1 team in the eastern conf finals. Grabe effect ng dirty plays nya vs Altanta main men, even injured Korver and got Horford ejected. Malay naten baka ganun din si Dellavedova sa finals? Sana walang additional injuries if he's going to play..

Can't win the finals with 1 guy, even one as skilled as Lebron.  LBJ needs support. Kyrie was it. 

GSW wins as a team.  They play unselfish basketball.  I thought Curry and Klay struggled a bit offensively in game 1 but they still won because their excellent team play takes advantage of their deeper bench - gives others the opportunity to shine.  The Cavs need Lebron to play crazy good each game to have a chance.

Ugly game. parang katulad nung game 3(?) versus Mem,  just really frustrating to watch. Even if gs somehow escaped with a win, it would still leave me dissatisfied.

Kudos to the Cavs role players and to Lebron for keeping them involved. Basa ko, lowbatt na si Lebron late 3q pa lang. He ran down the clock even when he was isolated against Speights(!)

As I've posted earlier Delladova is one of the major reasons why they won conf finals against the Hawks (when Kyrie was injured), I just dont get it why he didnt get playing time sa 1st game, he could be used sparingly with Kyrie and Kyrie would have not re-injure after palying 40+ mins.

Well it's a great game pero. sobra biased ng mga calls. I think they should have given Igoudola his 6th foul if they are going to call that foul on JR Smith. A lot of non calls for the cavs end though. luckily dellavedova is there. Just like in game 1 bad call for mozgov. the shot should have been counted. I'm routing for both teams pero mejo favor sa side talaga ng GSW ang calls e.

Actually Lebron is the one who choked. Pero si Curry sobrang sama lang ng laro parang absent siya today sa laro. Walanghiya nga yun 6th man ng GSW nasa harap na ng ref it's a clear foul pero ayaw tawagan.  Luckily Cavs survived this game.

Yun kay James, the refs didn't call the travel na, kaya hindi na rin tinawag yun foul.  Magiging bail out call na siguro.

Yes that foul on Lebron was so obvious.  Pero before that,obvious din yun travelling ni Lebron. Haha.. Sabi nga ni JVG, he is surprised how Lebron doesn't get the benefit of the calls despite being a "great" player.  Baka nga Refs don't consider him "great" after all.  LOL.

Yun na nga if the game is on the line. Ang laging nabibigyan ng bad calls is yun Cavs. Pero this is what I know LBJ is not "CLUTCH". Iba talaga si MJ. But Both games should not have gone to OT if the game is called properly if the game is on the line. Hindi yun sila ang magdidictate ng outcome.

If it's a close game, the nba releases a report on the officiating. Last 2 mins and ot calls are reviewed. They won't necessarily rescind bad calls, it's basically just a report to help improve officiating.

Larong buko naman itong GSW. Forcing a lot of bad shots, zero plays ran, tapos masyadong lax ang adjustments ni kerr sa coaching not even calling timeouts during 0-something runs. I think GSW entered the game being overconfident with Kyrie out. You miss the playoff smarts by the Spurs where each posession is important. Maybe GSW just wanted to make the series more interesting.
Title: Re: 2014-2015 NBA Finals WARRIORS vs CAVS

Lebron starts really hot but the past two games he fades during the final stretch. Considering said scenario if he keeps up hist hot start and keeps the momentum during the final minutes of the game, I would say Cleveland has a really good chance to win the series.

Off the mark si Steph the entire game, and not entirely due to Dellavedova - off lang talaga. Klay was the lone bearer of the Warriors offense today.  Even Green didn't score until the 4th.  We've yet to see the vaunted GSW offense in these finals. And that's giving the undermanned Cavs a chance.

Many are saying that the Cavs just got lucky because Steph was having an off-night.  What they don't realize is that Game 2 pretty much followed the storyline of Game 1: Cleveland controls the pace of the game with their defense and GSW tries to claw back in the 4th.

Kerr needs to get his guys to jump into their offensive gear earlier and control the rhythm of the game.

It will take an almost flawless team play every game for the Cavs to win the series and a only few of JR Smith's bonehead plays to lose it  ;D

Cavs played superb all three and a half quarters before losing composure late in the fourth. I still think it is less likely for the Cavs to maintain this level of play than Steph having an off-night like this one.

Great game for the Cavs, I hope each game of the series will be like the first 2  ;)

Games 1 & 2 just show us who is the more experienced team here.  The Cavs have practically controlled both games with good defense and slow, deliberate offense led by Lebron James.  The Warriors were reduced  to playing catch up basketball late in the game in both games.  Let's see the adjustments by both coaches for Game 3.  If the Cavs still manage to control the game and keep it close, maybe another upset will happen. I'm expecting GSW starring Curry to come out smoking for Game 3.  Curry hasn't been playing extremely well in the past two games.  So he is due for an A-Game.  But then again, so does LBJ :D

Just watched the replay. Raw emotions on display from Lebron after the game. He knows the value to his legacy of getting a title for Cleveland with this depleted roster, and he's really embracing the challenge. But he's averaging 48 mins and close to 40 FG attempts so far in this series...  :o This could really backfire later on.

Well hello yourself.   ;D. I guess you didn't get the drift of my post.  In tagalog, parang hindi pa lumalabas yun totoong laro ng Warriors.  Parang reserved pa and in check pa emotions ng Warriors samantalang todo bigay na Cavs. Hindi ibig sabihin hindi maximum throttle ang warriors. Hindi rin ibig sabihin nagpipigil sila . Sabi nga ni JVG yata, parang loose pa yun handle ni Curry.  Dapat daw ingatan na ang bawat possession kasi Finals na.

Kung baga yan na ang laro ng Cavs. Samantalang may igaganda pa ang laro ng Warriors.

Pero take note, si Delly nasa lineup pa din ng cavs. Baka mapuruhan si pag nagpaulan yun. These series should have been 2-0 in favor of cavs kung fair ang tawag ng ref. Mejo biased kasi mga calls ng ref in the end game. Ok lang magkamali ng calls sa first 3 quarters pero bakit palaging in favor sa GSW pag crucial na ang game.

That's the "Grit Squad", a bunch of Knicks castaways and an Aussie rugby player plus LBJ.  I watched the NBA Film Room right now and, much as this is another great comeback by GSW, you have to give more credit to the Cavs for wanting it more and displaying the mental toughness that only experienced teams can have. 

As for Game 3, I expect GSW to play better.  They are due for an A-Game.  But I also see Lebron and his vagabonds to go full throttle once again, defending like it's Game 7 and hitting those 3s with better precision.  Cavs will take Game 3.

I think lahat nang malas nang nasa games 1 and 2 na, so magigising na GSW.  That and Lebron will just tire out.  Cavs must have someone else with a break out game, and maybe JR Smith is the only one capable of doing that.

I actually agree with dpogs, and GSW in 3, 4, and 5.   ;D

Kudos to lebron for taking this team and carrying them to this finals, at nakapanalo pa! As some mentioned here, kailangan lang ng mga role players surrounding lebron, medyo ganun sya kagaling aminin ko na. Kaya pala na delegate lang din as role players si bosh, wade and ray allen sa heat nun.

Kaya lang parang isang klase lang laro ni lebron. Dribble dribble with the ball on his hands while the clock is ticking and then either firce the shot or kick it out to his shooters. So far his play is carrying his team.

I just hope gsw do a better job of stopping him or at least slow him down the next games.

Wala sanay na sila. Ito ayoko kay Lebron eh, parang kulang sa fundamentals. Footwork palaging sablay pero pinapalagpas ng mga ref. Andami nang mga videos ng pagtravel nya na di natawagan. Pero if he had footwork to match with the skillset he already has, lalo pang gagaling yan si Lebron. Mamaw sobra.

Watch it again, wala namang traveling. Pag bigay ng bola, hindi naman hinawakan agad ni LBJ. Noong nahawakan na nya, right before the 3rd step, ibinaba na bola.

True. Ang alam ko pwede ka lang mag-gather 2 steps THEN shoot or pass. Ginawa nya, 2(or more) steps tapos DRIBBLE. Travel yun, sa pagkakaalam ko.

Parang di natural na pagkacatch ng bola lakad ka muna before dribble. Kaya medjo malabo yung mga nagdedefend na di daw travel yun. Unless mali pagkakaintindi ko ng rules on traveling violation?

Regardless, if you walk before dribbling the ball, travel yun. 2 steps muna before nagdribble = travel. Pati yung change pivot foot nya before siya ma-foul ni Iggy (na di tinawagan) obvious travel din (ito madalas nya gawain. yung pivot nya palagi nagbabago.

ako naman eh nag lalaro ng basket ball.. ang pag kakaalam ko lang eh

first step then dribble = good move
first step (e.g left foot) ... then + anggat ng right foot then sabay dribble === travel na yan :)

But they never admitted the non-call on the traveling of Lebron in this video.  Napanuod ko yan live.  Sabi ko nga sa anak ko mukhang traveling di nakita ng refs.. Naging issue nga.

Last 2 mins at ot lang ang kasama sa ref report di kasama yung potential travel na na nadiscuss upthread.

tsk... kaya nanalo CAVS eh... 2-0 sana in favor of GSW... tsk tsk... akalain mo iyon... larong buko mode ang GSW at nasa monster mode ang CAVS... pero 2 pts lang lamang ng CAVS OT pa... asa pa mga fans ni LBJ...

paano pa kaya kapag nasa monster mode ang GSW... saan na pupulutin ang CAVS saan na pupulutin si LBJ... malamang lamang sa putik ng kahihiyan...

For GSW to win this game, they should stop putting bad shots. Anong play ba naman yung fast break tapos tres. Talagang mapapakamot ka ng ulo sa ginagawa nila. They should also not rely on their perimeter shooting, dapat sumaksak naman sila for a high percentage shot. That was severely lacking on that last game. Their defense was great, specially draymond's but he needs to also find his shot in this game.

Agree. Draymon Green's inside offense is what is lacking here. He needs to assert himself more. Also they should not take bad shots after bad shots and eliminate bad passes and turnovers. Play smart. They can do it. Go GSW!

Word.

Though even if he doesn't, just look at the effort he's putting up now. Just the fact that they've been able to compete at that level in spite of everything says a lot about James.

Good point. In both those losses they shot 6/26 (23.1%) from the arc. If they lose this game, they should know that they've been in that hole before and came back to win the series.

Yeah agree the east is weak. Actually hindi yun pag pasok sa playoffs yun iniisip ko. What I was thinking is yun win improvement-wise and overall record compared sa Lakers ;D. Hindi talaga yun pagpasok sa playoffs. Sa east kasi you can get to the playoffs with a losing record.

The record of the Lakers would be different if they were in the East though because they would have a difference schedule/matchups. They would face the Eastern teams more and the Western teams less.

If you put that Boston team in the West and that Laker team in the East, the Lakers would have a much better record and the Celtics a much worse one.

definitely not this year! I have a feeling na di man makapasok sa playoffs lakers next season, yung record nila will be good enough IF nasa East sila. I'm sure they will make great strides this coming season.

Also, I was referring sa 20-year drought ng Celtics. So I could care less sa yearly improvements. It's championship or bust for me. So regardless if nakapasok sa playoffs or not, as long as di ka nagchampion, that's a fail for me. I'd rather suffer successive defeats if it will lead to one huge victory at the end rather than numerous small victories that never translates into anything significant (run-and-gun Suns come into mind).

The record of the Lakers would be different if they were in the East though because they would have a difference schedule/matchups. They would face the Eastern teams more and the Western teams less.

If you put that Boston team in the West and that Laker team in the East, the Lakers would have a much better record and the Celtics a much worse one.

So that would be a no on getting to the playoffs then. That could possibly be true. But the_works did bring up the reason that Boston is in the east. That's why they made the playoffs.

So by the same reasoning you mentioned and if I understand it correctly, it should also follow that the Lakers are in the west. They may play in the west, but their record still is considered atrocious. It doesn't matter if they play in the west.  ;D The record speaks for itself.

Steph Curry - MVP na binubuhat ng teammates nya.

Lebron - binubuhat mag-isa yung team nya.

Lakas. Dito nakikita importance ng experience. Nerves of steel.

haha

definitely not this year! I have a feeling na di man makapasok sa playoffs lakers next season, yung record nila will be good enough IF nasa East sila. I'm sure they will make great strides this coming season.

Also, I was referring sa 20-year drought ng Celtics. So I could care less sa yearly improvements. It's championship or bust for me. So regardless if nakapasok sa playoffs or not, as long as di ka nagchampion, that's a fail for me. I'd rather suffer successive defeats if it will lead to one huge victory at the end rather than numerous small victories that never translates into anything significant (run-and-gun Suns come into mind).

Yeah I get your point of view.  Pero yun 20 year drought you mentioned were not all lottery years.  Yun last 2 years ng Lakers were so atrocious nga, they set records in LA Lakers franchise history. Dubious records nga lang. Last year their record was the worst yata in LA franchise history.  Biruin mong tinalo pa nila yun this year?  ;D

Like I said, losses/lottery - those things don't matter to me as long as at the end of it all, a championship comes out of it. Sinasabi ko lang, I have a feeling mauunahan pa ng Lakers yung Celtics na magchampion.

Kasi tingnan mo- sino meron sa Celtics? Marcus Smart? Who else? Isaiah Thomas/Sullinger/Olynyk/Zeller? Those guys won't even sniff an Eastern Conference title, IMO. Sa Lakers, we have Randle, Clarkson and whoever gets picked at #2 plus cap space in 2016. Kaya pivotal yung 2016 for the Laker's future championship aspirations. Now, I don't know the Celtics' cap space situation for 2016 but as of now, based on current personnel, I don't see them achieving much more than yearly playoffs appearances. Plus they always have to contend with Lebron's team (whichever team he is on) on a yearly basis if they reach the playoffs. So no chance there.

Sa West, there could be a major shake up depending on how the 2016 free agency goes.

Same old story :  Cavs controls the game.  GSW plays catch up.  Ang kaibahan siguro ngayon e mukhang Steph stepped up.  Parang hindi na OFF NIGHT?  Kasi pag 3 games ka na puro off night e hindi off night yata. Choke night na yan.  hahaha.   Good thing gumawa si Curry kasi naaawa na ako sa kanya for the past 3 games ;D

Defense wins championships and that's what Cavs showed tonight.  Pure grit and tenacity and another legendary performance from LBJ.

Nice game especially for Cavs fans.  GSW should better adjust well and take control of the game early on.  If the pace of the game is the same and Cavs / Lebron takes control, it's gonna a 3-1 lead by the undermanned Cavs.

Yes, this has been the strategy of the Cavs.  Slow the game and milk the clock. Do not give GSW their run and gun offense.  Panget talaga tingnan pero ganun talaga laro pag kalaban mo GSW.  Slow, deliberate basketball.

Grabe 'yung laban. Kahit lamang na ng 17pts Cavs, hindi pa din panatag loob ko eh. Ayun na nga nahabol as usual. Lupet ni Steph Curry, kung hindi pa din ito ang best game nya mas lalong nakakakaba. Noong last possession ng GSW at ipinasa ni Curry ang bola, medyo gumaan pakiramdam ko. Sabi ko "Ayus, hindi si Steph ang titira". Tapos ang ganda pa ng pasa ni Shumpert kay Steph sakto sa three point line, naalala ko bigla 'yung ginawa ni Reggie Miller sa NYK, buti hindi pumasok tira ni Steph.

But, the game ball still belongs to LBJ and 2nd Place si Delladova.

Buti nahiya 'yung refs at pinanood ang review at nakita na nasa labas na si Klay ng agawin kay Delly ang bola.  :)

Go Cavs!

D-Wade interviews LeBron
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=13049686

Great insights from LBJ.  He said he knew how dangerous GSW is when they get into rhythm and they have to break that and defend on a high level.  Yup, defense wins championships indeed.

Not a Lebron hater.  He truly is the best payer these days.  The way he is carrying his team almost singlehandedly against a superior team is undeniable proof.  But for some reason, I am not a fan. Maybe I put too much value on WOW moves ala Jordan.  But no doubting LBJ is ultra effective.

Haven't watched a finals game except game 2 but the way I see it, Blatt is beating Kerr - badly.

Ya im saying kerr should insert iguduola and lee to the starting lineup and have barnes and green off the bench. I think they will have a better chance to beat the cavs. Regarding the full healthy lineups of both teams, i think it is still hard to say who will win (but on paper advantage ang cavs) because with so many stars in the team, they all might want the ball. Lebron's game could be different. You never know. They might be much worse with Love.

As long as the Cavs controls the tempo of the game, sa kangkungan ni dpogs mapupunta ang Warriors kasama ng beloved Houston ko.

I've never watched a Lebron series that I'm actually cheering for him.   Wouldn't it be nice for a smaller city like Cleveland to be world champs.  And it will be a feat not even the great MJ achieved..winning the championship without a Scottie Pippen or Rodman class back-ups.

If Lebron does pull through and carries Cleveland to a championship, another case can be made for him being the GOAT.

He loses that argument in my book, by dropping 3 Finals appearances, whereas we all know MJ never lost one.

Anyway, sorry napapalayo na. ;D

the cavs won game3 and led the series 2-1 without some of their starting players and lebron had a moster game. their fans now are resurecting the idea of again calling him the  GOAT.......

i was able to watch a replay of the 1980 finals bet the lakers and sixers. there was this player named earvin johnson jr. a.k.a MAGIC. a rookie back then, played in game 6, he started at center, replacing the injured mvp kareem abdul jabar. the sixers are led by their superstars, dawkins & julius earvin. who happened to made the legendary baseline move(behind the backboard scoop shot) in game 4.  although a point guard, he played all five position in a dominating performance scoring 42points, 15reb, and dishing out 7assist-the lakers won the championship and earvin johnson was named championship mvp. after that feat he was still called "MAGIC" ;D ;D

Some pre-Game 4 trivia gathered from the internet to underscore the importance of winning tomorrow's game for the Warriors:

* No team has ever come back from a 1-3 series deficit in NBA Finals history to win the championship. 32 teams were in that position: 17 teams managed to extend the series to a Game 6, and only two teams were able to force a Game 7.

* The last team to face a 1-3 Finals deficit was LeBron James' 2014 Miami Heat. They lost to the Spurs on the road in Game 5 of last year's Finals, when the NBA Finals went back to the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

* But in NBA Playoffs history, under this 2-2-1-1-1 format, there's *some* hope for teams down 1-3 in the series. Nine teams (out of 215) have successfully rallied from such a deficit, with seven out of the nine enjoying HCA in the winner-take-all Game 7. The last team to do it was this year's Houston Rockets (over the LA Clippers).

So sana mag 2-2 bukas para mas exciting :)

Even if they are down, the Cavs are still playing well.  They are getting to the spots they want and getting off shots.  Nagmimintis lang.  But the plays they drew up, nasusunod naman.

Hehehe just posting my obervations lang naman ...and as i you said, it came from JVG ...

Came from JVG yun "full-throttle"?  Sinabi ko yun?  San dito?  Hahaha!
Also my impression is...Cleveland is already in full throttle mode.  But GSW haven't played well to date and yet the series is tied 1-1. So the Golden State Storm hasn't arrived yet.
Well hello yourself.   ;D. I guess you didn't get the drift of my post.  In tagalog, parang hindi pa lumalabas yun totoong laro ng Warriors.  Parang reserved pa and in check pa emotions ng Warriors samantalang todo bigay na Cavs. Hindi ibig sabihin hindi maximum throttle ang warriors. Hindi rin ibig sabihin nagpipigil sila . Sabi nga ni JVG yata, parang loose pa yun handle ni Curry.  Dapat daw ingatan na ang bawat possession kasi Finals na.

Kung baga yan na ang laro ng Cavs. Samantalang may igaganda pa ang laro ng Warriors.

I m not counting out the Cavs yet though.  After a dominating 3-game performance, I expect them to play better in the second half.  It's their turn to make a run.  But at least maganda na ball movement ng GSW even if those open looks are missed.

Mas exciting na talaga :)  Game 5 is going to be huge, no doubt.

And if this reaches seven games, I think the advantage belongs to GSW not just because it'll be on their homecourt, but the effects of playing those heavy minutes will catch up on LeBron and the few Cavs being used by Blatt.

Great adjustment by Kerr in going with the small lineup with Lee as backup center.

They're now doubling Lebron with whoever is guarding Delly whenever he gets deep in the post or if a switch brings a disadvantageous matchup.

IGUODALA  is the man!!!

He doesn't even want to bring the ball down. Kulang sa aggressiveness.

But we also have to credit the adjustments of Steve Kerr. Next game, makagawa din sana ng magandang adjustments si Blatt.  Tigas ng ulo eh, the way Smith is playing both defensively and offensively mas maganda pa ata na si Mike Miller na lang ang ipasok kesa sa kanya.

Bawi next game, hopefully well rested na star players ng Cavs.

Don't think GSW are playing at their pre-finals level yet. They have'nt loosened up so to speak.  This game just might help them regain their confidence.

Bad game by the Cavs.  Just shows they have no chance if James plays below par. 

Bogut has not been a factor in this series. Cavs with Mosgov dominate the boards when Kerr goes small.

Ang hirap kapag pito lng ang nasa rotation. Kawawa ang Cavs if this will be a long series. Naalala ko tuloy yung game 1 last year, nag quit agad si Lebron dahil sira ang aircon ng AT&T center. I hope Lebron can learn something from that experience and prove me wrong this time.

Finally, GSW found a way to break the Cavs' slow and deliberate strategy.  Before the game, I told my son ( a Laker fan rooting for Lebron and the Cavs) pag naging uptempo ang game at nakalamang ang GSW, mahihirapan ang Cavs because they can't really play catchup dahil kulang tao nila.  Nung mag 7-0 start, akala namin same old story pero yun na biglang pumutok yun new lineup at new strategy ni Kerr.   I kinda expected GSW to take this game and even the series.

Game 5 will be a dogfight.  Cavs will try its best to win and end it in Cleveland.  GSW will also "kill" to prevent this from happening.

It's a very exciting and unpredictable series so far.  I still go by my prediction where Cavs will win in 6 games.

Parang wala ngang karapatan magpahinga si LBJ, tuwing start ng 4th qrt at nasa bench sya, kagulo na opensa at depensa ng Cavs, kaya lagi atake GSW. Ika nga eh "Kapag wala ang PUSO este PUSA, naglalaro ang mga daga".  :D

He isn't dominating any European or any league for that matter. Kristaps is just potential because of his age and what he can do with his height(7 footer that can play any position). I won't be surprised if he turns out to be a bust.

How can a GSW title not be impressive?  You have a team with no championship experience.  A team with a first time coach in any league against Blatt who is an Israel League coach of the year 4 times (1996, 2002, 2011, and 2014), the Russian Super League Coach of the Year (2005), and the Euroleague Coach of the Year (2014).  He was a Euroleague champion (2014), 6× Israeli Cup champion (2002, 2003, 2011–2014), 5× Israeli League champion (2002, 2003, 2011, 2012, 2014), FIBA EuroChallenge champion (2005), Italian League champion (2006), Italian Cup champion (2007), Adriatic League champion (2012).


Then you still have the greatest payer of the last decade or so and a 4-time MVP in Cleveland in his fifth straight finals appearance.  Plus a more dominating pair of bigs in Mozgov and Thompson.  If GSW become champs, that is certainly very impressive.

I don't know about the author, is he really a fanboy of LBJ?

Pero, hindi ka na siguro kailangang maging fanboy para maintindihan 'yung isinulat ng author, tama naman, those superstars of the teams that was mentioned, lahat may magagaling na supporting players, unlike sa Cavs ngayon, pag inupo na si LBJ, kagulo na ng opensya at depensa.

Kaya naman considered na underdog ang Cavs, dahil wala nga sila Irving at Love. Hindi katulad sa GSW na kumpleto ang line up, they have the luxury of resting their star players, hindi ba't 7 man rotation lang ang Cavs? At doon sa 7 na 'yun, hindi pa lahat healthy. Saka sabi din dito dati na kung sino daw ang manalo sa West, 'yun na daw ang mag Cha-champion sa NBA Finals. So therefore, underdog ang Cavs.   ;)

Kaya pa ng cavs yan. I think this Cavs team is similar to the 2006  Champion Miami Heat team. Basically seven man rotation din naman yun Heat noon. Tapos Dallas then had that year's MVP in Dirk Nowitski. Mas magaling naman siguro si Lebron compared to Wade then na 3rd year player pa lang yata.

Hindi ko alam if dehado rin ang Cavs.  The last 15 years na nagchampion, 11 of them had the best player in the series.  This year, syempre the best player is Lebron.

first of all,i'm not a big fan of these 2 teams.kung nasa miami pa din si lebron i will definitely root for gsw.pero nung bumalik sya sa cavs medyo nabawasan yung pagka hate ko sa kanya,hehe.bakit ko nga ba sya hate?i'm a big fan of lbj when he was in cleveland kasi imo he has the makings of being a goat but to my dis appointment he transferred to miami,akala ko mapapalitan na nya si mj.lbj has a history of making promises na ok lang sana kyng hindi nangyari,worst is nung tinalikuran nya yung mga promises nya.i can understand why vets like garnnet,malone,barkley,etc left their previous team to have a chance at a championship,they are old then and everyone drreams of being a champion.
niow going back to this series,we have a team that comprises players who have zero experience in a finals,this team is great until they reach the finals,this is where you separate the men from the boys.just look at shaq and the magic,lbj and cleveland,i (dont know if some of their teammates have finals experience but i know the core of their players have none).cleveland has a bunch of players that have multiplr finals appearance,i know blatt is not giving them major minutes but the fact that they are in this team means that they are capable,right?it is not gsw's fault that blatt chose not to play them.plus cleveland has lbj (multi mvp,mu;tiple finals appearance,2 time champion,)
then we have the the coaches,gsw has kerr first time to coach and celveland has blatt first time to coach in an nba team but is multi title overseas.i think blatt has an advantage here because he's used to playing in a champonship game.
so imo,cleveland lyamado dito sa series.yes,even with the injuries on irving,love and varejao.they have players who has experience and are itching to play,blatt should use them.

If I recall before game 1, may poll dati.  Ang pagkakaalala ko most members picked the Cavs as the favorite to win the title.  Most common reasons were Blatt being the more experienced coach, the Cavs having abundantly more championship experience and players with rings already..... and the game's best player today an unstoppable force in Lebron.

the Achilles' heel of the Cavs where exposed and exploited to the hilt by the GSW...
while Lebron is the greatest asset of the Cavs, he has a tendency to become their greatest liability..

Really?  I actually think the refs favor the GSW.   ;D  Natawa nga ako nung game 3.  Tinawagan ng ref bola ng Warriors after nag agawan sila Klay and Delly.  Ayaw pa nga tingnan ng refs yun replay at sigurado mababago yun ball possession.   ;D

If I recall before game 1, may poll dati.  Ang pagkakaalala ko most members picked the Cavs as the favorite to win the title.  Most common reasons were Blatt being the more experienced coach, the Cavs having abundantly more championship experience and players with rings already..... and the game's best player today an unstoppable force in Lebron.

i think sa poll dito before game 1 eh most were for GSW...unti lang kami sa cavs dun sa poll

I'm not a Lebron fan, I have seen MJ & Kobe did more spectacular things in their primes BUT only a fool wouldn't recognize what he is doing to keep this Cavs team competing in this series. They were written off as soon as Kyrie got injured and along with that is whatever advantage analysts say they have before the start of the finals. Even I, said here that this one is a sure GSW win but he was able to give Cavs 2 wins so far. His leadership is different from the other greats, he wants a team with camaraderie outside the playing court. He thrives in a non-hostile environment, he even rented a resort cabin before the finals so the team can talk about everyday life to ease up on the pressure of the task ahead, even brought a personal barber ;D Actually it was amazing how they have this level of chemistry considering they haven't played a whole season or even pre-season together as a team; mid-season trades for Shumpert, JR Smith & Mozgov. Adding to the obstacles is the injury to Kevin Love and finally to Kyrie.

Even if they don't win the series I wouldn't blame it all on Lebron, it was all tough luck. But if he can will the Cavs to win this championship, it will erase any doubt from the haters about his legacy.

kita naman kasi sa Up Tempo.. control pa rin ng GSW.. kaya 1 game na lang yan to get the first ring :)

Sorry Cavs fans nauna maka 3 winnings ang GSW :)

Why is Lebron always sitting down before the game ends.  Dapat til the buzzer sounds, laban lang ng laban.  Yun 2 losses ng GSW alam ko nasa loob si curry.  Kaya nga OT yun first 2 games.  Kahit nung game 3 nasa loob hanggang matapos.  Muntik na naman mag OT.

dapat si JR Smith huwag maiinit nang maaga.. dapat sa 4Q... ubos yong 3s tsk tsk tsk.

Eto nga mas maliit lang ang lamang with still more time left compared to Curry...upo na.  Pagod na eh. Next game na lang.  Baka naman sa game 6.... upo ulit.  Pagod na eh.  Kaso wala na game 7 if ganun pa rin.   ;D

Yun 2006 Miami Heat din naman, mas malalim bench ng Mavs.  Alam ko mas bata rin ang Mavs.  Yun Heat palaos nang Shaq, Payton...pati si Antoine Walker.  But they pulled it off....single handedly by Wade.  And I believe Lebron is better than Wade.  Biruin mo considered kang GOAT....tatalunin ka lang ng mga finals rookies?  ;D

Game 5 yun Cavs mas maliit na lamang 8pts 89-97....mas marami pang oras about 2mins remaining.  Natapos ang laro umangat pa ang lamang sa 13.   ;D :D

Only 4 times since 1990 has a season's title come down to a game 7
- Rockets vs Knicks in 1994
- Spurs vs Pistons 2005
- Lakers vs Celtics 2010
- Heat vs Spurs 2013

Only 3 of 17 road teams have pulled it off, just 17.6 percent. None have done it since 1978. The odds are heavily stacked against the Lebron Cavaliers even if they force a game 7.

Dagdag lang sa trivia :)

A look back at the outcome of the NBA Finals (since 1985, 2-3-2 format) with the series tied 2-2:

* The NBA Finals has been tied 2-2 ten times since 1985. The winner of Game 5 has gone on to win the championship seven out of those 10 times. 

* Six out of those seven teams won the title in Game 6. Three out of those six teams won the title on the road ('85 Lakers, '06 Heat and '11 Mavericks).

* The three teams that lost Game 5, but went on to win the next two games for the title, needed home court to win both games under the 2-3-2 format ('88 and '10 Lakers, and '94 Rockets).

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/16/with-finals-tied-2-2-a-historical-look-at-game-5-results/ (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/16/with-finals-tied-2-2-a-historical-look-at-game-5-results/)

Momentum is definitely on GSW's side. Also has to be exhausting (even mentally) for LeBron to log 45 minutes and tally 40 pts (on 34 FG attempts), 14 rebs, 11 asts... and still lose. I agree with the earlier post that this is now the Warriors' title to lose.

I must admit, hater ako dati ni Lebron, but now it's different. Or maybe, these haters don't just understand the game at all. Maybe they don't understand of having the pressure and the whole team at your back? All they can do is criticize, baka yung iba nga eh di pa marunong mag-basketball.

Stats ain't everything. Example, kahit pa gawin ni Kobe lahat ng ginagawa ni Lebron, meron at meron pa din maghehate kay Kobe dahil di nila trip yung swag/ugali/rape history/etc. Si Lebron, yung ginawa nya sa Cavs when he left them high and dry for his super friends in Miami left a bad taste in people's mouth. Biruin mo, itetelevise mo pa yung pag dump mo sa isang team.

Also, a lot of people believe na Lebron only excells because of his brute strength. Fundmental-wise, kulang na kulang si Lebron. Shooting stroke, footwork, post up move - kulang. He flops and travels a lot pa. Madami pa din mapipintas sakanya.

Pero, undeniably, amidst his travel violations and flops, nakakabilib yung brute force nya.

Brute strength and size.  I guess this is why I am not a fan.  Along with power, I like seeing finesse, deft touch, grace in motion, lithe athleticism, etc.  MJ, Dr. J, Curry as examples, have those characteristics.  LBJ only has power and size.  But no doubt he gets the job done.

iba si Jordan, the guy is oozing with charisma, he's the type of person na kahit na anong kalokohan gawin, people tend to give him a pass, people who were associated with him said so themselves, I read several books about Jordan and the Bulls, and to be honest, he's a certified jerk, but somehow, some way, he was never on the bad side of the press

I think what edboy7 is trying to say is, 'yung move ng coach na pag alam ng wala ng chance na manalo, pinagpapahinga na 'yung star player, ginagawa ng maraming teams 'yan, one step backward, 2 steps forward. Compare naman kay Curry na mas mahaba ang pahinga and a known 3 point shooter, tama lang na mag stay pa sya sa laban.

Isang panalo na lang GSW, konting luto pa ng refs at mag Champion na sila  ;D

Lest anyone forgets, LBJ has speed as well ..... to go along with his power and size.

Can't fault the guy for being born with such physical traits.

I'm not a big fan of LBJ, but without a doubt, he'll go down as among the best to ever play the game ...... among the top 5 in my books (in no order - Jordan, Magic, Jabbar, Russell, Lebron).

====================================================================

My humble two-cents on all the Pinoy hate for Lebron.

** Social media.

** The Decision - This was probably the worst for Lebron and it's mostly his fault. I'm not knocking him for going to the HEAT - it was his legal & free-agent right to choose his team, even taking lesser money ....... but the way he handled it, via a television event, was indeed insensitive to many folks.

** Michael Jordan ...... The greatest to ever play the game - he dominated & revolutionized the game in such a way that even to this day, hardcore & casual fans are captivated by his achievements.

Unlike Jordan who had many predecessors, contemporaries & heirs with similar traits & games ex. Kobe, Wade, Drexler, Gervin, Miller, etc. ....... Lebron's physical traits & skillsets have little to compare with - Magic is probably the closest one.

Folks are usually apprehensive of what is different and unique.

Besides, we Pinoys always root for the small guys / guards ...... go to any basketball court anywhere in the country and 99.9% of the time you'll see shooting guard play.

Nung game 4 siguro naintindihan ko pa.  Kasi magiging 2-2 lang.  Pero game 5 na.  You are about to go down 2-3.  Siguro naman binigyan sila ng stats and percentages of winning a title on the road in a game 7.  Parang 17% chance lang if you go down 2-3 and expect to win a game 7 on the road.  Pero kahit 17% chance lang.... pahinga na lang during the game.   ;D

Hindi ba pwedeng after the game na lang?  Magswa ka sa pahinga pagkatapos ng laro.  Kelan ba yun huling superstar na nagpapahinga sa finals?

You are about to go down 2-3, give up na lang kasi pagod na?  Yun game 3 talo na yun, napadikit ni Curry by sinking impossible 3s.  Muntik pang mag OT ulit.

Sabi nga ni edboy....it's the finals Hello!  where every game counts and should be played in "Full Maximum throttle"

 ;D ;D

Curry was retained until the dying seconds of game 3 because he had enough rest due to their effective 2nd string players. Curry was also great 3-pt specialist kaya logical lang na he had to stay in the game. LBJ on the other hand (game 5) already gave everything - high scoring, rebounds, assists sa lahat ng teamates and defense on the other end and he played more than 40++ minutes. Lumobo na rin ung lamang ng GSW even though LBJ was still in the last few mins and the momentum of the scoring run was on GSW's side.Tao lang din si LBJ at napapagod and he needs to survive in order to fight another day.

Btw, Im no LBJ hater or a big LBJ fan either.

I think what they want to see is fight till the bitter end. Parang isiah thomas, played the last 90 seconds on a severly sprained ankle till the last second.  Or tmac, 13 pts in 33 seconds. Kahit pagod fight, ganda kasi panoorin na ubos ka na lumalaban pa.malay mo maka silat, bilog ang bola.

What I don't understand is, 'yung mga kakampi ko sa Miami Heat dati dito, eh LBJ hater na din?  ???

After giving 2 Championship Rings to the Miami Heat franchise, hate nyo si LBJ? Why? For leaving Miami? ;D

"It's not over until the fat lady sings."

Go Cavs!


uy former Miami co-fan hehe. i don't hate Lebron for leaving. bilib ako kay Lebron sa pinapakita niya sa finals. talagang kulang lang sa kakampi. But i'm not a fan. Never was. i'm first and foremost a Miami Heat and Wade fan. the way i see it, we just used him to win championships the same way as he used the Miami Heat organization to win his championships. just business. Reason why i root for GSW: it's just that i like Curry and GSW more than him and the Cavs.

I think what edboy7 is trying to say is, 'yung move ng coach na pag alam ng wala ng chance na manalo, pinagpapahinga na 'yung star player, ginagawa ng maraming teams 'yan, one step backward, 2 steps forward. Compare naman kay Curry na mas mahaba ang pahinga and a known 3 point shooter, tama lang na mag stay pa sya sa laban.

Isang panalo na lang GSW, konting luto pa ng refs at mag Champion na sila  ;D

LBJ for Finals MVP!

Go Cavs!

There's a difference between rooting for GSW and just being a LeBron hater. You're not the hater I'm talking about. I don't see hate posts from you.

Hahaha! Bilib ako sa nagagawa nitong halimaw na ito pero di ko makuhang maging idol dahil sa mga antics and hirit na ganito. Bagyo eh.

Si Curry at Iguodala? Last 2 games na lang gumanda laro nila. Well, let's wait kung maganda gagawin nila sa game 6 at kung may game 7.

Not 2 not 3 daw  ::) ::) ::)

I think what they want to see is fight till the bitter end. Parang isiah thomas, played the last 90 seconds on a severly sprained ankle till the last second.  Or tmac, 13 pts in 33 seconds. Kahit pagod fight, ganda kasi panoorin na ubos ka na lumalaban pa.malay mo maka silat, bilog ang bola.

Nagawa na daw kasi ni king ung share niya sa game kaya save for the next game na kasi talo naman na daw sila saka bobo daw yung coach kaya siya nilalabas.  >:D >:D

Game 4 they lost because Lebron was 20 points short

Game 5, they were only 8 points short.  Moscov could have made more than that if they had not benched him.  I didn't get that strategy. 

For Cavs to have a chance to win, Lebron has to make 40 and Delly, Smith, Moscov, Thompson, Jones - kahit pa-ten points ten points man lang.

And i really have a beef with Blatt's super tight rotation. Anyone noticed how the Dubs seem to pace themselves from the 1st to 3rd quarters, as if waiting for the Cavs to tire out, and only then do they give them hell come the 4th?

parang mali nga yung strategy ng cavs to go small,isa sa strength ng cavs eh sa bigs with mozgov and thompson.i felt that they should have exploited it besides the first 3 games the cavs controlled the tempo until late of the fourth quarter and they won 2 of those games.when the cavs played small lalong bibilis yung laro,and that's a no no lalo na kung limited lang rotation nyo.i think come game 5 they should give more minutes to mozgov milk the clock then pound the ball inside to slow the game

We just might see LBJ win the finals MVP even if GSW takes the title.  Curry didn't play well in the first 3 games.  Iguodala?  Not enough for sure.

If there is no requirement that the finals MVP should belong to the winning team, Lebron has it in the bag. but about Curry and Iggy, Curry has stepped up and provided the victories in all 3 games that they won. Iggy up to this point is still under appreciated, on a normal day lebron will not take 38 shots, he is taking that much to score 40 because of the good defense that is applied by Iggy-not to mention the offense, otherwise with the 38 shots that lebron takes he might well be over 50pts a night with 20 assists.  thats why I see the 2 as deserving candidates.

I wont disagree, sabi ko nga sa isang post ko kung hindi requirement na sa winning team kung manalo ang GSW, si LBJ has this award hands down.  pero kung requirement is winning team, Iggy and Curry stepped up for their team and likewise deserve it.

depende siguro sa performance ni curry sa game 6.kung manalo gsw and maganda ipakita ni curry malamang sya finals mvp.pero kung malas si curry at manalo gsw tingin ko deserving nman si lbj mag mvp kung stats pag uusapan.kaya siguro si lbj stat padding na lang gagawin nyan,he can have his triple double in game 6 then gas out in the 4th quarter.history na naman para kay lbj

It's still premature to say that Lebron should win MVP even if the Cavs lose. Meron pang game 6. If Curry goes for 40, in the bag na for Curry.  Last year Kawhi Leonard was finals MVP scoring "just" 17.8PPG. Curry has been averaging 26/5/6.  Those are outstanding numbers. Add 1.6 SPG pa.

Actually I didn't realize he was ave 26PPG pa nga.

Di ko rin ma gets why binangko si Mosgov especially with GSW not utilizing Bogut. Mosgov played great in game 4.
But they lost Game 4 because they couldn't handle GSW's small lineup with Mosgov on the court.

depende siguro sa performance ni curry sa game 6.kung manalo gsw and maganda ipakita ni curry malamang sya finals mvp.pero kung malas si curry at manalo gsw tingin ko deserving nman si lbj mag mvp kung stats pag uusapan.kaya siguro si lbj stat padding na lang gagawin nyan,he can have his triple double in game 6 then gas out in the 4th quarter.history na naman para kay lbj

Stat padding? From 1st qrt to 3rd qrt? Pwede ba yun? Ang alam kong stat padding pag wala ng kwenta ang laban, kumukuha pa din ng stats. Wala bang kwenta 'yung game 6? That's where every point, every assist, every rebound counts. Stat Padding? Esep-esep!  ;D

Di ko rin ma gets why binangko si Mosgov especially with GSW not utilizing Bogut. Mosgov played great in game 4.

Because Mozgov is easily getting smoked in the pick n roll plays, Draymond will set the pick for Steph and both can beat Mozgov to the rim. To compensate, another Cavs player must abandon the GSW player he's guarding and both Steph & Draymond are capable of passing to that open man. Also, Steph likes to do his signature 2-4 dribble step back jumper when a Cavs big is guarding him from a switch, and Mozgov is slower than Thompson.

The Cavs coaching staff is using the same strategy as Kerr's, "let their best player (Steph) beat us" and they are confident Delly can handle him as seen from the first 3.5 games. But the Cavs advantage in this series is offensive rebounding and playing small ball deviates from that. Kerr is baiting Blatt to play small ball, and Blatt bit the bait the past 2 games. Kerr is challenging Blatt once again to fight small ball with his post game statement:  "The reality is this is a small series [now] and it works well for us."

The Cavs playing small ball is taking a toll on end games for LBJ because he needs to crash the boards more than he should. Fighting for rebounds & then setting the play on the other end most of the game will definitely tire him out.

i don't think the cavs really needs to play small ball, playing small with gsw forces them to play up tempo which is a big disadvantage since gsw has deeper rotation plus the strength of gsw's backcourt.

cavs should stay with mozgov and thompson and make sure they control the boards. gsw can't run if they don't get the rebound so it would be an advantage to the cavs.

But at least when Thompson tires and especially during those few minutes that Lebronsky is in the bench, they should have a legitimate offensive threat sa paint like Moscov.

But they lost Game 4 because they couldn't handle GSW's small lineup with Mosgov on the court.

LBJ is right, he's the greatest player in his generation. I think he was just asserting himself that if GSW is going to be the 2015 NBA champions, they had to go through him 1st, and he'll give everything he can to prevent this from happening.

Anyway, whatever LBJ thinks doesnt matter, GSW will go through him and win game 6. GSW will only have to deal with LBJ. LBJ's problem is that entire 8-man GSW rotation could provide good offense.

One more thing.  Why are the Cavs taking too many 3s?   I don't remember the great Bulls taking that much low percentage shots.  Puede naman 2 points at a time.  Is it that difficult to penetrate the paint against GSW defense?

And Lebron still lacks the finesse of Jordan's offensive moves.

I understand why GSW takes too many of those 3s though.  Curry is a good lesson for PBA players..  Learn how to release high looping shots - and bring your hot Mum to the arena always.   :)

Taking a bunch of 3s is really the trend now.  Last year's champ the Spurs used it as a weapon.  The Lebron-led champion Heat teams used it as a weapon with Jones, Miller and then Ray Allen.  Previous to that Dallas used the 3 as a weapon to win the title as well.  The last 4 champs had 3pt shooting in their arsenal.

si LBJ talaga ang alpha dog......sya nga lang naman ang bumubuhay sa team nya....kya nga nung tanungin si curry about lbj 40point game eh napasagot ng natural lang yon kay lbj kse nasa kanya lagi ang bola... ;D ;D ;D ;D

siguro mamaya bka first quad double si lbj...first in an nba finals siguro.....superhuman sbi ng marami.maraming humahanga sa kanyang galing.....kya lang yung iba ang panghanga hindi lang sa galing ibinabase, minsan kasama yung pagkatao. maraming ayaw sa mayabang at mapagpuri sa sarili...pero sabi ng iba na tagahanga nya ok lang kse totoo naman...wala bang karapatan ang iba na wag syang hangaan at sabihin na walang kwentA yan sapagkat yan ay hambog? at biglang dRating ang mga tagapagtanggol at sasabihan ang mga kumutya sa kanilang idolo na mga mababaw ng pag iisip at walang mga kapararankang komentaryo.hahahaha ang kahambugan nga naman.....mana mana lang!

It's GSW's year and they deserve to be champions. For CAV's,you can just look at the bright side. It's Lebron's first year back on the team and they went all the way to the finals. The CAVs team are really young compared to GSW's team.

Hopefully CAV's will regroup next season and if they stay healthy they might just get the championship they badly need.

I never expected the Cavs to go this far since LBJ rejoined the team. I thought the Spurs would still be the Champion this season. Malayo din ang narating ng Cavs. I hope they're still intact and all healthy next season.

Congrats GSW! Congrats GSW Fans!

Go Cavs!

Because they are down early and nobody else is scoring on their team.

It's not that.  Passive and not engaged si Lebron buong game.  Just look at the body language.

When you look at it on paper, Lebron's stats... 28pts, 15rebs and 7ass.  But parang walang impact si Lebron buong game.  Those are the most quiet stats in the game.  Though meron pang 4mins.
stats na lang kasi habol Nyan.maging record na naman finals mvp on a losing team. anyare sa teammates nya? na inspire kaya nung "I'm the best player in the world"  statement nya

Iggy played consistent for all 6 games. Doing the intangibles. So yes, he gave the dubs the chance to win each game because of his defense. And added some offense too. Deserving in my book.

Iggy played consistent for all 6 games. Doing the intangibles. So yes, he gave the dubs the chance to win each game because of his defense. And added some offense too. Deserving in my book.

True. Parang si Leonard lang last year. His defense was a key part in the Spurs' championship. Bonus na lang points and other stats. Nung kabado mga young players, si Iggy yung parang makikita mong composed pa rin.

Sure, beastly stats ni Lebron but come on, that came because of his high usage rate plus he was the only star. Sino pa ba ibang gagawa? Wala. Default na siya lang. Bonus na lang if may iba. So it was relatively easy for him to achieve those stats. Kumbaga, parang NBA 2k yan, you are controlling one player. The ball goes through the player you control majority of the time. Talagang lolobo yung stats kahit di sadya. I have a hard time accepting na manggagaling yung MVP from a losing team. Yung kay Jerry West was an anomaly. Shouldn't have happened but he was outstanding in a close game 7 loss. Averaged 38ppg and had triple double in game 7. Also, first time yata nag-award ng Finals MVP nun?

The image of Mike Miller urging Lebron to get up (from a timeout) during the last few minutes of the game says a lot. Being their leader (and the best player in the world), I thought Lebron would fight until the end. It looked like he gave up a little too early. Good thing JR Smith made it more interesting in the end.

As for the Warriors, the x-factor was a steady veteran in Iggy. He became the leader of the young Warriors team when it mattered the most. Congrats GSW! Time to celebrate!

6'8"/high-leaper/long arms/brute strength vs GSW small ball non-rebounding team = easy rebounds. Madami din siya nakuhang rebound na pinapabayaan lang siya ng teammates nya pag nakita nilang magbabounce papunta sakanya. I did not say he was stat padding. Sinabi ko it was natural for him to have a bloated stat-line kasi wala naman talaga ibang gagawa. Wala nang ibang offensive threat plus he was doing point guard duties. High usage rate = more chance to have a better stat-line.

I watched the whole game.  Lebron was invisible.  Akala ko nagpapacing.  But hanggang natapos, he never made an impact.  But once you look at the newspaper, makikita mo naka 30pts 15rebs and 8ass naman.  Pero inconsequential and misleading yun stats.  Lebron is now 7-8 in elimination games.

hahaha! that's lame, in the 1980 finals. the Lakers lost their mvp jabaar in the finals vs Julius Irving and Dawkins, guess who led the Lakers to the championship ? none other than the rookie magic Johnson who started at center, played forward and guard. but the most the fascinating thing about is when he said "everybody talked about my 42 points but Wilkes 37 points helped us". kaya kayang sabihin ni lbj yun? 

You are comparing that one game during that lakers series versus a whole series lbj had to play without irving and love. That is not even comparable. It is hard to do it for a whole series especially when teams can make adjustments for every game. If jabbar got injured at the beginning of the series patay ang lakers versus that tough sixers team. Injuries are part of the game. Ganun talaga.

To those saying that the MVP should go to LeBron you need to wake up. Yes his numbers were great but the series didn't even go to 7 games and the last three games weren't even close.

You should realize also that at the time when Jerry West became the MVP while playing for the losing team was the first time that the MVP award was given. As with all things you try to do the first time, you iron out mistakes on the next. That MVP award to West may have been and probably is a fluke.

Way too soon to say GOAT and Lebron in the same sentence.  Malayong malalyo pa siya kay Jordan and some others.  He reminds me of Karl Malone in that he's big and uses his size to great effect. Nothing spectacular or dazzling in his skills, just effective.

Sadly for LBJ he lacks charisma, the type that enables his teammates to raise their games, as evident in these finals.  He's neither Magic nor Michael, that's for sure.

Irving was a really big loss sa chances ng CAVs. Imagine the outcome if he was playing in the finals.

GSW beat the Cavs by an average of 13 pts for the 4 games that they won. 

Just imagine if Irving, Love and Varejao were all healthy.  Give them an average production of, say, 6 pts per game = 18 pts per game.  The outcome would have been different.

But GSW deserves all the credit.  They played the game as a cohesive team and knew how to beat the undermanned Cavs.

Warrios got a deserved win after a 40-year drought championship. What threw me off from LBJ's recent statement was he claimed he's the best player. It maybe true based on stats but basketball is a team effort not an individual sport. To me he's worse than Mayweather claiming he's the best out there both being without charisma on their side. He's still far from MJ if he can't bring a team to three-peat championships. It's like Al Pacino's Tony in Any Given Sunday telling Cameron Diaz "you've got to earn it" referring to that NFL ring.

Can't really blame LBJ, his team was riddled with injuries and there's none stepping up big time. GSW had a deep bench too.

That's oversimplifying things.

Love would have been a liability on defense. Kyrie playing would have let James orchestrate the offense less, and James orchestrating the offense almost exclusively was one of the things that made these Cavs as competitive as they were. And one can't say if Kyrie would have been able to do the same efficient defensive job on Curry as Dellavadova was able to do in Games 2 & 3...

I'm not saying the Cavs would still not have won. Walang makapagsasabi. But it would have been a totally different series in terms of matchups, strategies and adjustments. Hindi siya parang 1+1=2 lang.

Goodness. Read my post. Wala akong sinabing hindi basehan statistics. Sinasabi ko, hindi yun ang ONLY basis.

Defense, consistency, composure, stats... and lastly - being on the CHAMPION TEAM.

Also, you want to compare Jerry West's performance? He averaged 38ppg and he had Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain on his team. He had two stars on his team. Parehong gumagawa yun. Si Lebron mag-isa, hence, pag stats nya lang babasehan mo, eh talagang mapapa-wow ka kasi wala naman ibang gagawa. Eh si West nakagawa pa din ng 38ppg kahit na may malalakas na ka-team. I read that he also suffered a hamstring injury and his leg was swolen from game 5 to game 7. Yet he was still able to put up 42pts, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in game 7.

Then ano ang basehan kung walang statistics? Ano 'yun, "lucky pick"?
Statistics are a part of it, but statistics are not everything. Winning counts for something. When voting for MVP, people always consider whether the team the player is on is a contender. The narrative for Russell Westbrook not being considered for MVP even though he put up godly numbers and triple doubles was because his team didn't even make the playoffs. That logic should also extend to the finals. If your team doesn't win it, you don't get FMVP.

Lebron was the best player this series. I don't know how anyone can argue against that. But the FMVP award goes to the player who is able to contribute the most to their team towards achieving their goal, and that goal is to win the title. So get iggy wid it.

Ako lang ba nagsabi na deserving na maging Finals MVP si LBJ? You can read it everywhere, some LBJ haters and GSW fans even admitted na deserving sya. Kayo ata dapat gumising  ;D  ;D   ;D

Doesn't matter where the opinions come from. No ring, no MVP. Maybe if he  went all the way to a game seven with most of the games down to the wire he could've won the MVP. But as I've said, the last 3 games weren't even close. The only difference if LeBron wasn't in the games is the results would've been much worse for the Cavs.

Also, I didn't say that you were the only one saying it. I said for those who believe that LeBron should've won the MVP.

Goodness. Read my post. Wala akong sinabing hindi basehan statistics. Sinasabi ko, hindi yun ang ONLY basis.

Defense, consistency, composure, stats... and lastly - being on the CHAMPION TEAM.

Also, you want to compare Jerry West's performance? He averaged 38ppg and he had Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain on his team. He had two stars on his team. Parehong gumagawa yun. Si Lebron mag-isa, hence, pag stats nya lang babasehan mo, eh talagang mapapa-wow ka kasi wala naman ibang gagawa. Eh si West nakagawa pa din ng 38ppg kahit na may malalakas na ka-team. I read that he also suffered a hamstring injury and his leg was swolen from game 5 to game 7. Yet he was still able to put up 42pts, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in game 7.

That's exactly my point, wala ngang kakampi si LeBron kagaya ni Baylor at Wilt, LBJ had to do everything for his team. There is nobody in GSW that can top the performance of LBJ in the Finals.

Anyway, napaka hard loser ko naman kung hindi ko matanggap na kay Iggy napunta ang Finals MVP.

I accept Iggy as the Finals MVP.

One last argument lang. 8/21 fg shooting doesn't exactly equate to MVP.

Maganda pinakita ni LeBron most of the time but sad to say he still doesn't deserve being awarded the MVP with the finals having a lopsided result in favor of GSW.

LBJ Fans and Haters combined with real GSW fans make the game more interesting.

It was another great season for the NBA fans in general. I'm not sure kung ganito kasaya kung hindi team ni LeBron ang lumaban sa Finals.

Thanks for all the infos, exchanging of ideas, arguments etc.

I accept my defeat. Looking forward to next season.

I didn't expand my reply kasi my example was in response to you in regards to your point na wala si Irving and love. but if that is also your reply, eto sagot ko. mas mahirap para sa Lakers nun kasi game 6 na yun so no time to prepare ang  Lakers. unlike nung sa Cavs sa case ni love matagal sila nakapaglaro ng wala sya bago pa nila makalaban yung gsw. saka mvp yung nawala sa Lakers tas nagbuhat rookie pa, wala nga ko makilalang ibang player ng Lakers e. eh ang Cavs nasa knila the best player in the world, Daming veterans na meron championship experience, hindi nya nagawan  ng paraan?

Yun mga what if naglaro si Love, Irving or pati na rin si Varejao if mag iiba ang resulta.  Just take a look at the finals history of Lebron-led teams.  Thus far Lebron is 2-4 in the finals.  Pagnagchampion si Lebron, inaabot ng average 6 games sa finals para manalo.  But pagnatalo sa finals.... Lebron's teams average just about 1 victory in the series.  Kahit na sino pa ang teammates niya...magaling man or hindi, pagnatalo, his team averages just 1 win in the finals.  Talagang dominated.  Yun ang nagiging trend.  So baka little impact rin naman kahit nandun si Love, Irving and Varejao if talagang ilalabas ng GSW yun totoong laro nila.

Good point.  Yes, in the end the better team won.  GSW knew how to win given the situation.

As for Iggy being the MVP, I have no problem with that.  I thought in both games 5 & 6 Iggy was the X-Factor. Especially in games 5 where he made that "and 1" acrobatic shot.  That, to me, was the turning point.  The Splash Bros just put on the finishing touches.  And Iggy's defense -- damn.  Guarding LBJ alone, making him work for his shots, those are MVP-like performance as well.

Tama naman prediction ko 4-2 ...... wrong team nga lang LOL.

LBJ will have a monster performance in this finals series, he'll be unstoppable, probably even score triple double average (30+ pts;11+ rebounds;10+ assists), Kyrie is back but I dont think he'll be 100%. GSW will rain 3-pointers from Thompson, Curry, Barns and Green.They will have running-offense which will render the Cavs' big men useless. Bench pts will be taken care of by Barbosa, Livingstone, Iguodala & Ezeli which will provide a huge break on their starting five. LBJ will carry the Cavs alone, with a little help form Kyrie and JR Smith but this is a team sport. they'll come up short.   

Finals series turned out as what I expected. :-)

There's a school of thought that the Golden State Warriors somehow aren't worthy NBA champions. Everyone respects the hard work they've done, but skeptics love to shout that they benefited from forces beyond their control to reach the summit.

Those skeptics like to ask lots of questions, as skeptics do. Would they have won the title if Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love played in the Finals? Would they have won if the two next-best West teams didn't have to play each other in the first round? Would they have won if Oklahoma City wasn't reduced to a manic Russell Westbrook and nobody else? Would they have won if they weren't the only top contender to avoid critical injuries?

The answer to those questions is besides the point. Every NBA champion wins through a combination of amazing play, good health and luck. The last two Heat champions benefited from Derrick Rose's injury. Suns fans still think the Spurs' 2007 title is tainted by Phoenix's controversial suspensions. Michael Jordan's Bulls won their first title against a Lakers team falling apart with injuries and they never had to play Hakeem's Rockets. The 80s Lakers and Celtics played against JV opposition in their conferences compared to today's champions. The 60s Celtics didn't even have actual opposition until the Finals. We can play this game forever.

Besides, this year, the answer to all the skeptics' questions was yes. That's how good the Warriors were.

Golden State won 67 regular-season games and had one of the eight-best point differentials of all time. They lost just seven times with their full roster healthy in the regular season, an amazing accomplishment in an era where talent is spread so evenly through the league. They had the league's MVP in Stephen Curry and reasonably could also have won Defensive Player of the Year (Draymond Green), Coach of the Year (Steve Kerr), Most Improved (Klay Thompson) and Sixth Man of the Year (Andre Iguodala).

They then blew through the playoffs, going 16-5 with a net point differential matched only by three other champions since 1997. They never faced elimination, something LeBron's Heat, the Big 3 Celtics, last year's amazing Spurs and four of Kobe Bryant's five champion Lakers clubs can't say. When the Warriors twice faced 2-1 deficits, they made bold adjustments that led to three straight comfortable victories.

Those skeptics are just making excuses for not seeing these Warriors coming. With two notable exceptions, no credible voices predicted the Warriors would win the title before the season began. They made no major roster changes from a team that lost in the first round. A new coaching staff came aboard, but since when has a new coaching staff ever turned a good team into a historic one in one season?

Since 2015, apparently. Steve Kerr and his staff designed a new offensive system that activated the unique talents of Curry, Thompson and Green while elevating the already-stout defense even higher in the rankings. Kerr expertly navigated egos, moving proud veteran Andre Iguodala and former All-Star David Lee to the bench without incident. Then, he elevated Iguodala again in the Finals and sent Andrew Bogut, once the foundation of Golden State's defense, to DNP-CD land. Iguodala rewarded Kerr's faith by winning the NBA Finals MVP award. Every button Kerr pushed worked.

A coaching staff isn't supposed to make this big a difference so quickly. The Warriors' did.

Then, there's how the Warriors won. They are not the first champion to spread the floor and shoot threes, but they did it without a Big 3 like Miami, a legendary big man like Tim Duncan or a collection of experienced veterans like Dallas. Their star shot 30-footers and then countered with drives to set up three-footers. They pushed the ball for threes and accepted twos when those were taken away. They played fast and still shut teams down defensively. They turned down a trade for a top-10 player because they thought he couldn't help them win as much as a guard that hadn't sniffed an All-Star team prior to this year.

Maybe that's why skeptics exist. It's unreasonable to expect any team can transform this much in one year. It's unreasonable to believe any team can win in a way that flips the middle finger at the right way to win a title. It must be a historical blip, and historical blips quickly correct themselves.

Yet this actually makes the Warriors' title more impressive. It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win and innovate. The Warriors walked that daring path successfully, and in turn, they will inspire a generation of copycats around the league. That is the truest mark of a historic team.

The Warriors challenged everything we thought we knew about this game and won in dominant fashion when other basketball revolutionaries couldn't. You can choose to appreciate that, or you can keep appealing to the court of basketball conventional wisdom on the basis of procedural technicalities.

Your choice. Not that the Warriors care.


The Warriors aren't just NBA champions, they're historically great

The Warriors are deserving champions.  There's no guarantee that with Irving and Love, the results would be different.  Take the 2 losses by the Heat in the finals.  Lebron had Wade and Bosh to form the big 3.  Imagine in those 2 finals defeat, an intact and healthy Miami Heat just managed to win only 3 games...... total/combined.  So it's really not a sure thing.  Thus I don't buy the idea that with Love and Irving, it would be different.

anong kaguluhan itong nangyayari... anyare...

nag Champion pala ang GSW bwahahahaha.... kaawa awang CAVS...

anyway... malaking bagay ang pagkawala ni k.irving at love sa cavs... this gives GSW high morale... malakas loob nila kasi alam nila depleted team ang cavs... kahit naman sino... kung alam natin na kulang kalaban natin wala ang mga magagaling aba eh gaganahan lalo tayo lumaban...

and they know na a player cant win against a team... kaya nigrab nila ang chance na ito... sabi ko noong una sana ibinigay na lang ang trophy sa GSW hindi na pinahirapan ang cavs kasi wala naman talagang chance ang cavs kahit na andyan si LBJ... nakakagulat nga eh... naka 2 pang panalo ang cavs :):):)

for me personally... malking bagay/diff ang magagawa kung andyan si love at irving... morale ng mga gsw players... ang mga advantages na nakikita ni coach kerr against sa isang depleted team... to be honest... natalo ng GSW si lebron or natalo ng GSW ang mahinang team - cavs is not complete without k.love and irving...

para sa akin dapat manalo ng finals mvp ay si lebron... kung umabot ng game 7 :):):) eh hindi kaya kahit na sino sa gsw puwede na :):):) salute for LBJ (minus pagsasabi nya ng 'best player') for giving GSW a good fight...



tama na ang malakamoteng comments.... eto na ang tunay na comments ko dyan....


anoooo.... panipaniwala kayo na malakas at mananalo ang cavs kasi andyan si greteat player LBJ + coach with years of international experience... asa pa kayoooo... sa kangkungan kayo pupulutin ngayon... LOL

hays... sarap ng gising at sarap pumasok ngayon sa trabaho... pinakisamahan na kayo ng panahon... umulan ng malakas ngayong gabi para marami kayong kasamang palaka sa kangkungan... ha ha ha ha....

Kawawa pala si David Blatt kay Lebron.

Quote
And we likewise saw LeBron emasculate Blatt in ways that are simply unbecoming of a player of James' legend-in-the-making stature.

I saw it from close range in my role as sideline reporter through the Finals for ESPN Radio. LeBron essentially calling timeouts and making substitutions. LeBron openly barking at Blatt after decisions he didn't like. LeBron huddling frequently with Lue and so often looking at anyone other than Blatt.

There was LeBron, in one instance I witnessed from right behind the bench, shaking his head vociferously in protest after one play Blatt drew up in the third quarter of Game 5, amounting to the loudest nonverbal scolding you could imagine.

Which forced Blatt, in front of his whole team, to wipe the board clean and draw up something else.

I understand LeBron had no input into Blatt’s hiring and had to roll with him in less-than-ideal circumstances. But it struck me as a rather unflattering look for an all-time great.

No matter how inept he might think the coach is.

How is any fellow Cavalier going to treat Blatt with something resembling reverence when LeBron treats him like a bench ornament in plain view?

How can LeBron publicly laud his own leadership, as he so often does, when setting that sort of tone?

My ESPN.com colleague Brian Windhorst, who ranks as the most credentialed LeBron-ologist there is after shadowing James since his teens, went on SVP & Russillo on Wednesday and posited that No. 23 actually wouldn't mind if the Euroleague import keeps coaching the Cavs because he "likes having Blatt to kick around."

I wouldn’t expect to hear anyone in Cleveland dispute it, either.

Because they can't.

LeBron's handling of Blatt unbecoming

Lebron's 2-4 Championship record is indeed a letdown compared to the All Time greats.  But consider the fact that in all 6 finals appearances, Lebron was the Alpha.  Some may have 5 titles compared to Lebron's.  But 3 of those titles a player is the sidekick instead of being the Alpha.

Robert Horry I believe was a perfect 7 for 7 in the finals or a record of 7-0.  But Horry was never the Alpha in all of those titles.

i'm not diminishing the fact that mj never lost in the finals.what i'm pointing out is,at some point in his career mj did fail. So lebron's 2-4. Horry is a perfect 7-0. So does that make him better than both mj and lbj?syempre hinde. Magkaibang context e.

Nakakatawa lang na ang dami pa ding hate na nakukuha ni lebron.don't get me wrong, I used to vehemently hate on the guy too.kaso 5yrs removed na tayo from the decision.sure,he still does and says stupid crap every now and again.who hasn't? Ang daming pinoy sobrang nayayabangan sa kanya.siguro dahil ang nature at culture natin e exact opposite ng kanya. Heck,kobe's more of an asshat than this guy.But he doesn't get the same flack (maybe) as lebron does.

for me, i think sobrang frustrated lang siya nung time na sinabi niya yung "I'm the best player in the world" and just got irritated with the question. we gotta give him a break. still, being in the finals for five straight years is a big accomplishment already which even the great MJ hasn't done.

i'm far from being a fan of LBJ but this focusing on his failures is just too much already.

Actually hyped si MJ pero MJ can give the winning shot if needed like the game six na may flu siya si King James ba nagawa na niya yun? Last game 6 ba sino ang may puso na tumira ng magkasunod na 3 points di ba si JR Smith? MJ is hype but he has 6 rings already and he can give you the winning shot if needed and MJ did not give those not 2 not 3 not 4 not 5 not 6 not 7 statements.Eto pa sinabi "Best of all, hear James countup of how many championships Miami will win. No limit."

Sa akin magaling siya kung sa magaling nag lagay siya ng record in history pero puro kasi salita di naman nagawa. Palipat lipat pa ng team ring chaser? Para sa team ba yung not 2 not 3 or para sa sarili niya? :o :o

Sinabi mo pa mother parang honda and ferrari naman yang comparison if King and MJ. Sa totoo lang di ba nila nababasa ung mga sinabi ng iba na dapat di niya sinabi yung greatest player of the world. Sige sabihin na natin out of frustration sino ba ang sisihin sa frustration na yun? Ung bang mga talo nila sino ba dapat mag lead sa team sa last minute?

Sinabi mo pa mother parang honda and ferrari naman yang comparison if King and MJ. Sa totoo lang di ba nila nababasa ung mga sinabi ng iba na dapat di niya sinabi yung greatest player of the world. Sige sabihin na natin out of frustration sino ba ang sisihin sa frustration na yun? Ung bang mga talo nila sino ba dapat mag lead sa team sa last minute? Yung panalo nila sino ba ang umiskor para manalo sila sa last minute? Sabi nga ng isang reporter siya na din nag coach sa Cavs so sino dapat sisihin? Bat siya frustrated?  ::) ::) ::)

doesn't matter naman kung sino dahilan ng frustration niya. frustration is frustration and we often blabber stupid things when frustrated.

also, eto na naman tayo sa "What If" game. sasabihin niyo sa fans ng Cavs na nagsasabi ng "what if hindi injured sila Kyrie, Love, etc." na walang kasiguraduhan yun tapos eto kayo doing the same for MJ na sasabihin niyo na "what if hindi nagretire si MJ". fact of the matter is he didn't and let's leave all speculations from the discussion. same with the Cavs if they have Kyrie and Love.

Medyo nakakatawa nga yung mga nagsasabi na okay lang yun natalo, bawi na lang next year. Yung thought na "babawi" madali lang sabihin pero mahirap gawin yun kse marami ring gagaling pang team. Yun din sinabi nung natalo si lebron last year sa San Antonio pero ano nangyari?

I think lebron must change his play and adopt a more team oriented gameplay similar to san antonio and dubs. Yung ginagawa nya kse is too much and mauubusan talaga sya ng resistensya, his body shows signs na dapat baguhin nya laro nya. Last year with san antonio nag cramps sya. This year ganun din plus talagang naubusan na sya game 1 palang OT ubos na.

His window is closing in. These new breed of players, mga bata tapos shooters, tapos takbo ng takbo will be hard to beat in a best of 7 game.

ang isa pa dapat nya gawin consistently is yung back to the basket.di ko alam kung bakit sa last finals series sya pa kadalasan nagdadala ng bola.lalo tuloy sya nag gas out.yung back to the basket madals gamitin ni jordan sa bulls.simple pero effcetive.ive seen lebron does it a few times,i dont know siguro di lang talaga sya kumportbale sa ganun,sayang strength,speed and height nya,mismatch problem to opposing teams

Also hindi ko nagustuhan yun throw in the towel na attitude ni Lebron.  I am not saying hindi siya clutch or pressure player.  But etong last finals obvious yun give up na siya.  Actually game 5 na lang give up na. Then sa game 6 pansin yun facial and body expression ni Lebron na hindi siya engaged sa game. Kita sa mata.  Walang fire.  First half akala ko nagpapacing lang. End of 3rd parang nagpapacing pa rin. Natapos na yun game....ayun nagpacing na lang.   ;D

I think mataas naman ang bb iq nya (passing, anticipation, court awareness), its just that he does not address yung mga bad habits nya. He travels most of the time  if we look closely.  He never developed his offensive game except outside shooting. Until now he is still struggling with his back to the basket game. Other than passing to the open man, he does not have a secondary move every time he attacks the basket. Check na check ang tendencies nya because he either drives to the right or left (his favorite side) without ability to change direction (hindi man lng nya na pickup kay Wade when he was in Miami). Dinadaan sa brute strength and bilis because he can outrun anybody on a fast break. But in a long series, we always see that hindi umuubra ang predictable offensive game nya because teams can make adjustments.

Ang isa pang nakakadagdag sa inis ng tao kay lbj is the way the media particularly major sports outlet portarys him as the Best, greatest small forward, best all around player, etc etc. Oo magaling siya pero masyadong hype. Kumbaga sa wrestling masyado siyang face to the point na umay na tao sa kanya. Dapat minsan banatan naman siya para makakuha ng konting simpatya. Iniisip ko tuloy, magkano kaya binabayad ng Nike at iba pang sponsors sa media para ihype ang mga kagaya ni lbj at mga athletes nila?

I was referring to Lebron's finals record.  ;D. Also Bird's losses in the finals were in 85 & 87....only to the best PG in NBA history who was still in his prime.  Lebron's losses came in 2007 (still in his prime Duncan), 2011 (Nowitski), 2014 (Kawhi Leonard) and 2015 (Andre Iguadola).....with the exception of Duncan though certainly no pushovers...he lost to players who are not Top 5 all time let alone top 10.  Then this year lost to a team all with finals rookie experience.  ;D

Yan, legit basketball mind na nagcall out sa gawain ni Lebron. Nakakaasar talaga na yung BITW player eh di man lang magaling sa fundamentals of the game. I also saw a quote from Steve Kerr that the thing with Lebron is that he does not have a go-to move like Jordan. He does not have a good shooting stroke nor a post-up move. He relies on brute strength, speed and quickness. But when those arent working for him, his offense goes away kasi wala ngang go-to move. He really needs to work on those NOW because he wont be forever young.

Why does he need to become a free-agent only to re-sign with the same team? Pardon the ignorance.
Quote
But most everyone in Cleveland and around the NBA believes James isn't going anywhere as this is just a formality. James intends to re-sign with his current team, according to multiple reports.

The opt-out move is the third time in the past six years that James will be an unrestricted free agent.

Basically to get more money.  What's weird is this will probably be just another 1 year contract. The new TV deal isn't kicking in until next year and with it a significant increase in a team's salary cap.  So next year, the Cavs will go through this again for a third time....or fourth time overall.  ;D

Nasa NBA CBA kasi. There is a required increase in percentage for a team's FAs to resign as I understand it.

And do you know how much is the raise he will get for opting out? - for his stature, a measly $1.5M  :o :o :o

He is bullying the franchise to retain or upgrade the roster.

You can basically demand almost anything if you're the best player in the league. ;D

eto ata yan so every year bagong contract para lagi me increase.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/report--lebron-james-opts-out-of-final-year-of-contract--will-enter-free-agency-193123038.html


This was a widely anticipated move, one that many have seen as a simple matter of course ever since James and his representatives negotiated an opt-out clause into the two-year, $42.2 million contract he accepted to rejoin the Cavaliers after spending four seasons with the Miami Heat. Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said during his season-ending news conference that he expected both James and power forward Kevin Love to exercise their rights to tear up the final years of their deals and enter the free-agent market. Love did so earlier this week.

For one thing, with the salary cap projected to rise to $67.1 million for the 2015-16 season, the starting maximum salary next season for a player with as much service time as 12-year veteran James slots in just under $22.1 million. Opting out and signing a new deal, then, allows James to pick up an extra $1.5 million or so for nothing, and would give him a higher starting salary off of which to base the year-over-year raises he'd receive if he were to sign a multi-year deal.

LeBron is not making decisions solely over that comparatively small sum, though; rather, he's making them based on the flexibility that opting out affords.

If James goes for a carbon copy of the deal he signed last summer — a two-year pact with the first year fully guaranteed and a player option for the second — he opens up the option of re-entering free agency again in the summer of 2016. That's when the influx of new money from the NBA's massive new nine-year, $24 billion broadcast rights deal will inflate the salary cap to a projected $89 million. The first year of a maximum-salary contract is based on a set percentage of the cap rather than a straight dollar amount, meaning that as the salary cap rises, so does the value of the max; in this case, the spike would bump LeBron's first-year max up to an estimated $29.3 million.

If he wants to keep the good times rolling with one-and-one contracts, James could then opt to once again hit the market in 2017, when the cap is expected to hit an unprecedented $108 million, which would push James' '17-'18 max salary up to a whopping $35.5 million. That would be the highest single-season player salary in NBA history, topping Michael Jordan's $33 million deal to play for the Chicago Bulls during the 1997-98 season. And so on, and so on.

Going year-to-year also allows James to avoid being locked into a long-term deal as the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association ready for their next round of collective bargaining negotiations. Either side can opt out of the existing CBA, signed prior to the 2011-12 season after a lockout that resulted in a substantial lowering in the share of basketball-related income that players receive each year, following the '16-'17 season.

Kevin Love and Lebron might re-sign with the Cavs for a 1-year+ player option tapos both will opt out ulit after 2015-2016. It's for more money, of course. Kaya yung mga matatalinong free agents na may tiwalang di magkakaroon ng career ending injuries, magtitiis yan sa shorter contracts this offseason for a bigger payout when the new TV deal kicks in.

same here. I don't like the guy as a person(what i can only see and read via media) but he really might even be underpaid. If you surround him with a good healthy team then they could just steam roll over other teams.

*was on the side of gsw during the finals :p

If it happens, pupusta ko na ko para sa Cavs next year.. :)

Yep, considering what Lebron brings to the table, parang hindi kasya sa kahit anong team salary cap.

kung tutuo to boss bat si Russel pinili nila sa draft mas ok si OKafor, unless makukuha ni both butler and aldridge biglang lakas nila non. matutuwa tayong mga lakers pag nagkaganon. :D

I don't know about Butler. Medyo questionable pa sakin baka mamaya maging Lance Stephenson lang yan. He has what? 1 good season. Pero ok na rin since 1yr lang naman hinihingi niya na contract. Bigyan nila ng 2yr contract with the second year being a team option.

From what I've read, only the Bulls can accommodate Butler's request for a 1 year contract being a RFA.  Under the CBA, outside teams need to offer at the very least a 3 year contract with neither a player or team option.  So signing with the Lakers for 1 year is impossible.  Minimum offer should be 3 full years...no opt out clause.

Butler has 2 good seasons and a great one last year. He's a borderline top 10 player. Even if he didn't improve on his 2013 season, he would still deserve the max this year. That's how good he is.

Tama si sir dvd_freak, hindi logistically possible sa CBA ang 1 year lakers contract rumor ni Medina.

didn't know Butler is a RF. very good points bro. i don't think he's a fit right now for lakers as they already have russel, clarkson, and kobe.

on a different note, maybe we could close this thread now since the '14-'15 season is already over. para dun na sa isang thread matuloy ang discussion.
